Excellent photo journal Bob!
Question: do you know who the engraver was for No's 86026, 17914, 1888, 1830, 20890, 35039 and 73131 ?
The engraving style in the depiction of the dogs' heads, eyes, eyelashes etc. is something I have always associated with the work of Joseph Loy and maybe those guns were done by Loy... I sure think so. Do you know the answer Bob?
