I once had a D grade with 3 different dogs on it,no birds.A pointer on the right,a setter on the left,and a spaniel on the floorplate.I just did not realize how rare it was at the time.I sold it without taking photos.

this is the floorplate of a new dhe 28ga oo frame gun we had. Bas relief engraved dog scenes all three panels. gun was stored in what appeared to be cosmolene. The scenes were very well done and had the dogs in various upland scenes.

[King Cobb]

The 3 dog Ds were made prior to 1900 I believe. I have owned 3of them ranging in year of make from 1889 to 1899. Never seen one posted made after 1900 I don't think.

This gun was ordered in 1917 and given as a gift for the Texas State amateur golf Tournament. Traded in on an A1 special 28ga and repurchased by the recipient where it remained basically unfired. Gun had incredible wood for a "D"
Has an interesting history and was special ordered with the dogs.

We know that Chuck and Traci didn't order that gun. The setters outnumber the lone pointer.

I'm not exactly sure what these four are on my D from 1895, but I like them though. I would appreciate it if y'all could tell me what the consensus is. It looks as if one of them is lifting off.

Murph know us all too well --- only setter we own is a dwarf red setter "Cricket" . Have to hunt him in the short stuff.

Chuck, the dogs in your profile picture, well very nice. The two P 's Parkers and Pointers. I like all other dogs as well!

That is a tasteful job on that rifle Rich I like it. The case makes a difference.
