These are on a 1934 transition gun. Also a VR 16 DHE.

Here is a chronological list of many of the engravers at Parker Bros. and later at Remington in Ilion who worked on Parkers.

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? |

Bruce, can you take a higher rez version of this last picture. I sent these pics to my friend Charlie Pfleger who owns Hill Rod and Gun in Bozeman and who is teaching himself to engrave. He really likes these birds, as do I. If he has a sharper pic he can somehow make up a practice template he lays on steel. If you can do this send it to me at:

Randy, any chance I could get a high rez picture of the floor plate of your transition gun for Charlie? The birds on these two guns are really nice.

Same engraver. Most likely young Bob Runge.
