As you will notice, the 2 Grade 3's I posted in my first post, they are the earlier frame shape/contour.
The Grade 4 I posted last is a later frame, the same as the one posted by you and also Jay's Crass in an earlier thread.
That being said, I'm under the opinion that the dogs are more typical than birds on the later frames, but this is only my opinion and I could easily be wrong. Apparently some customers preferred elk and other animals also, we see them on some Parkers and the occasional Ithaca doubles. I can't comment on other makers because I haven't had much experience with others.
