,my engraver was highly impressed with the scrollwork which pictures don't do justice ..

In one of his catalogs, G.B. Crandall, the gunsmith who continued to produce Tobin doubles after the company went belly up states -- "We are especially fortunate in having our Mr. J.B. Walker an engraver who has devoted years of study to this art in the best gun plants in England, and who by special aptness through a love of nature in all its moods has developed a skill that enables him to depict in life-like realism those scenes so dear to the sportsman's heart."
