I recall a similar C with a singular wood duck on the triggerplate. It would be interesting to know how many other singular bird engravings exsist. Brad |

Quote:
Kevin, Frederick Anschutz was chief engraver for Parker Bros from 1911 to when he died at the Parker Bros. Gun Works in 1930. After he died the dogs engraved in the style shown in Brad's pictures disappeared. Further, Anschutz' dogs were nearly always depicted as decidedly 'male' and the reason I made note of the dog's on the gun Brad shows as being the first I've seen like that is because those dogs are decidedly 'female'. Frederick Anschutz was an exceptional engraver and did much nicer work on grades higher than the DHE and CHE shown here. This is what we usually see in the way of 'male' dogs on D and C grade Parkers engraved by whom I believe was Frederick Anschutz. .

Brad, I was just looking at a picture I have of that gun today.
This one is a CHE 20 ga. with roundel engraving to boot!! Each one is unique and I'm sure not more than a handful had the pheasant, wood duck, or any singular gamebird engraved on the floor plate... .

I recall a flying mallard on one. Then there is the C grade Jim Hall calls Big Bird.
