Very unique engraving and the detail is flawless. It looks like billows of scrolled flame coming from the serpent's mouth. This engraver was incredibly talented - may we know the year range the gun was made please?
The dogs are very stylish but that little Dr. Suess-like bird at the front of the floor plate really tickled my fancy.
And what is the figure in the oval void left between the fern stems between the two floor plate screws?
