AAHE back home and ready for pheasant

[Kevin McCormack]

If there is any connection between Sharretts and Harold Carter, my money would be on Sharretts having specified the engraving motif as having been strongly influenced by the near-Egyptian rendition of the faces of the fox kits. The style and execution of the facial features is eerily similar to those of the pre-WWII grade IV Browning Superposeds engraved by Felix Funken, FN's master engraver and founder of their engraving school. Similarly, Funken's rendition of birds and reptiles on the early highest-grade exposition guns are near heiroglyphic in their symbolisms. Definitely food for thougt!
