I like the stylized engraving of birds (and dogs) on Parkers, but I know that others desire greater realism. I think the pre-1920S iterations are more to my liking than those that come after. I find G engraving to be a very satisfactory blend of coverage and cost.

A question to Dean...when did they open the season on turnips?
