			The Formula 1 season started this weekend.  Life is good.  The Scuderia is back!!   
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Gun No. 3 is one of the top-lever Remington Hammer Doubles 1882 to 89 can't tell which. Gun No. 1 appears to be some kind of side-lever. Whether a quality English gun or JABC I can't tell.  |

			3 Eng. Setters-not sure of the dog on the right. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Gun 2 is a lifter action and gun 4 appears to have a hinge pin. All have long barrels and may be 10 ga's

			No question No. 2 is a Lifter and is a later model with the 1 piece lifter I believe. The two types had a different shape and thickness. I also would bet it is a 10 gauge from the looks. No.4 I would put my best guess as being a top lever hammer gun. Time based on that could be set with a definite earliest possible date at the transition from 3 piece to 1 piece lifters. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	I believe the first gun is a side lever of some sort as already guessed. The enlarged pictures helped. Somebody should be able to take a guess as to grade from the checkering in the enlargement of No.4.  |

			I am not sure gun number 2 is a lifter, when I blow it up larger and look at the colors and contours, I believe what we are seeing could be the bottom corner of his coat and not a lifter mechanism.  Looking at the frame sculpting I think gun 2 and 3 are the same manufacturer though. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Anyone think guy number 3 is attired a little different for this group between the hat and the hip boots?
