Thanks.
Yes. 1939 Rem rebarrel of a damascus gun. Missing the originals but the Rem barrels are beautiful. Well struck, perfectly fitted, twin real ivory beads, .032 and .008. Well contoured as shown following. No idea. |

I like the duck, much better than the flying Turnips. My C's have a Stag on the floorplate. I never will understand that line of thinking. You wouldn't engrave a Mallard on your 30/06....would you?
 Bruce, Turnips or not thats a nice 16 and what great chokes for the uplands. |

Bruce,
I have a 1904 dh #2 frame 16/20 2 barrel set. The engraving is almost identical. Who was the engraver? |

Tom, in answer to your question, it is very rare that any particular Parker engraver can be identified. In this case, none can, and I doubt that the work was done by the master engraver at the time. I believe its journeyman level work. TPS lists the known engravers.
Two barrel sets are uncommon, and a two barrel 16/20ga #2 frame set would be particularly uncommon, for all I know, it may be unique. |
