Favorite scene engraving

[Double Play]

I love these threads that show different engraving styles and agree the Lefever's had some of the best dog scenes of any American maker. I have shown this gun before but for those that may have missed it this CHE had one of my all time favorite deep relief scenes. The sides were cut in the same deep fashion.

Jeffrey C,

Early Paragons are wonderful guns. I have seen both a DeLuxe and an Excellencia that would make you cry, they were so detailed. The DeLuxe was signed by Mason...I haven't seen one since, sadly.

I would love to see pictures of the engraving of those two models! Does anyone here happen to have one?

I realize I said Excellentia, I had W&C Scott on the brain when I said that. I'm forgetting at the moment what the other Baker grade name was...a step below DeLuxe. The gentleman who owned it asserted it was even rarer than the DeLuxe, but I wouldn't know.

Daryl H. could probably riff on Baker better than anybody...perhaps he'll chime in.

Wow, that is nice!

Does anyone know what was the equivalent Parker and Lefever grade compared to a Crown LC Smith in cost in 1915 or so? I remember seeing a chart on the Baker website at one time that showed all the classic maker's original cost by grade in a chart.
