The Formula 1 season started this weekend. Life is good. The Scuderia is back!!
Gun No. 3 is one of the top-lever Remington Hammer Doubles 1882 to 89 can't tell which. Gun No. 1 appears to be some kind of side-lever. Whether a quality English gun or JABC I can't tell. |

Brits were introduced in the US in the late 1920s.

3 Eng. Setters-not sure of the dog on the right.
Gun 2 is a lifter action and gun 4 appears to have a hinge pin. All have long barrels and may be 10 ga's

No question No. 2 is a Lifter and is a later model with the 1 piece lifter I believe. The two types had a different shape and thickness. I also would bet it is a 10 gauge from the looks. No.4 I would put my best guess as being a top lever hammer gun. Time based on that could be set with a definite earliest possible date at the transition from 3 piece to 1 piece lifters.
I believe the first gun is a side lever of some sort as already guessed. The enlarged pictures helped. Somebody should be able to take a guess as to grade from the checkering in the enlargement of No.4. |

I am not sure gun number 2 is a lifter, when I blow it up larger and look at the colors and contours, I believe what we are seeing could be the bottom corner of his coat and not a lifter mechanism. Looking at the frame sculpting I think gun 2 and 3 are the same manufacturer though.
Anyone think guy number 3 is attired a little different for this group between the hat and the hip boots?
