In Praise of the Flying Turnip
The four attached pictures are all G-grade guns with the flying turnips. The first is a 1889 D-2, the second is an 1893, the third (not real clear) is a 1900, and the fourth is a 1915. I've always thought the guns engraved around WW1 have deeper and more detailed engraving. These four generations of G-grades exemplify the different artistic hands who made these guns special.
