1928 DHE Comparison:
Comparing this battle tested 1928 12 gauge DHE, manufactured 10 years prior to the 16 gauge, clearly illustrates pheasants though definitely more “turnipesqe” in design. There are also subtle differences in the border scrolling. The Remington era in this comparison being a bit more intricate. I speculate they were engraved by different employees.
I wonder how much time was spent from start to finish and how many needed to be completed daily by each engraver?
