I feel like I've seen that front end lower dog on something of mine before, and I'll check to see (and if I can discern a "rock" in the engraving).
Also, if it's okay to ask -- that last photo of an engraved dog: when was that made? I would swear it is from the era Dean suggests -- the 1920s. I hope I'm not getting us off the trail, but inquiring minds want to know (and so do I  ).
