Page 224, "dogs on D grade guns in the 1890s have a characteristic intense facial expression. Chances are that Harry Gough did them." This D grade was done in 1899 and the dogs have the same expression as other Ds I have seen from the 1890s, so I was taking what TPS said at face value.

those style dogs started with the first of the hammerless- this comes from an 1888 DH within a few hundred numbers of the first hammerless gun - it has the same setter/pointer mix on the side plates

Very cool Rick, I think I saw you post that floor plate in a thread I found on here about 3 dog DHs, I find it interesting the variation in head position among the dogs found on floor plates. Your is looking at the ground and mine is looking more to the sky.

if you look very close - you'll see a bird's head in the grass he is looking at

Hmm I will have to check if there is some bird flying on mine. I don't think so, but will check.

Just a question on this DH.What condition would you rate this engraving and case color?These look like good pictures of this gun.
Nice gun by the way. Thanks |

I really don't have a clue. Haven't been at this long. There really isn't any cc. In my inexperienced opinion I would rate the engraving pretty good except for the setter on the floor plate, it is a little faint.
