I know your fabulous CHE very well. What is the positioning of the dogs on that one?
If I had to guess about the choice of where to position the setter and the pointer my guess would be that it was the elder Robert Runge, he being the chief engraver on Parkers under Remington and was the chief engraver for Parker Bros. from the time of Frederick Anschutz's death in 1930 I believe. Maybe he just wanted to set Ilion manufacture apart from Meriden manufacture in his own way.
