Good eye Phil,
I missed the shape of the trigger guard completely. I do know I was intrigued how the trigger on the upper gun is engraved/knurled from edge to edge, perhaps requested by the original owner, or changed by a later owner?

I was too busy comparing the engraving and the shapes of the birds, I’ve found subtle differences but they look to be by the same engraver.

The one difference I picked up on is in the border, was this perhaps done by an apprentice or junior engraver and then the birds done by a senior engraver?
