Default Engraving similar to GHE

Does this duck look like the ducks on a GH? It's from a Tobin listed on GI yet looks exactly like a Parker engraved duck of that era. Did they use the same engravers, does anyone know?

Here is the picture. The engraving seems close to my GHE.

Tobin Arms was located in Norwich, CT, about 40 miles from Meriden. We have seen the very same engraving style (ducks etc.) on guns produced by the Meriden Fire Arms company.
Many of the engravers at Parker Bros were actually engraving contractors and were not necessarily employed by any one firearms manufacturer, or if they were they could moonlight with others, so we will see (have seen) their work on a few different makes of guns.

Very Parker-esque.
