Harry Gough was an engraver at Parker Bros., and chief engraver of the engraving department from 1887 to 1898. Harry's sons John A. (Jack) Gough and William H. Gough apprenticed under him. William H. Gough took over running the engraving department from his Father in 1899, and ran it until 1911, when he left to head up the engraving department at the A.H. Fox Gun Co. All the while William H. Gough was running the engraving department at A.H. Fox Gun Co. he generally only did the highest grade guns, and spent most of his engraving time on high-end commission work from Winchester, Colt, Marlin, etc. When the Godshalk's sold out the gun business to Savage, William H. Gough went to Utica. Savage management apparently didn't like his doing commission work from competitors in their factory, so he moved his engraving business to town and operated independently into the 1950s.
