Grade 2 engraving is underrated, in my opinion. Two great examples on this thread.

Another Early G Grade
I agree the G guns have some fine engraving. Here are some pictures of my GH12 from 1890. The first picture is the floorplate, I have attached a thumbnail of the serial number for reference. Then a close up of the floor plate with the contrast enhanced to show detail in the engraving cuts. Look at how they shaped the strokes on the wings to give a 3d Effect. Tough to see without a powerful magnifying glass, so I guess the engravers did this sort of work for their own pride. Quite remarkable. Have not lettered the gun yet but the wood is also very pretty with a vertical tiger stripe patter. Gun is still rather dirty, but is unmolested.
