Thank you.

I found this data:

Albin Obiltschnig; (correct spelling) 1894-1975 was one of the most respected Ferlach, Austrian gun engravers of his time and father of engraver Hans Obiltschnig. Innovator of relief scene work incorporating Diana, goddess of the hunt which is sometimes referred to in Ferlach as an "Obiltschnig motif."

I wonder if he created the Diana grade Fox?

I think many makers had a special gun, using Diana, or Goddess Of The Hunt. Holland & Holland had more than one. A Royal Grade double rifle, and a Royal 12 bore SxS. Browning had a Diana.
