Wonderful guns Daryl - wonderful engraving!
Beautiful dogs in that top example but the landscape is something we just don't see on but a scant few American guns. And the setters on the bottom example appear to have been done by an engraver familiar to Parker aficionados. .

Dean, the setters you refer to could have been done by the fellow you suspect. That gun was made in Norwich. The other Tobin was Frank Major Tobin's gun. I have a bit of family history on it. It has the optional Pyro Oxide [I think I remember the term properly] finish. I cannot guess who the engraver might be. I seriously doubt that this engraving was done in Europe.

Pardon me - Chris, those pheasants are dead ringers for pheasants we have seen flying on a couple of LC Smithhs.

I recently came across this Tobin ad in "Hardware and Metal", Toronto, Sept. 24, 1910
