I looked over his Crass article that Wayne referenced, the article was not specifically about this gun, but he did include 3 pictures of this gun.
I did notice that in the article, the gold setter on the trigger guard is (upside down) or not situated as it is now. I'm scratching my head, it is definitely the same gun, but why the difference on the dog???

Apparently somebody wasn’t fond of the original orientation of the gold setter…
