I'll say it's unique - first (attributable) Anschutz engraved gun I've seen depicted like that.

Very nice job Brad!

Dean
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, 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.

Brad, I am liking the look of that C. I can only hope that my "rust bucket" CHE will turn out as nice.
