Early DH

[6pt-Sika]

I've been looking around for typical engraving patterns for the EARLY DH guns meaning 1888-1890 .

Any sources I can avail myself ?

The ones in the grade section of this website don't appear to be the earlier style and didn't see any pictures in the two volume set under grades ,

I posted a very early one one the three dogs thread,
here they are again

is there a specific detail you need to see?

I like the dog on the floorplate.

If you look through the 26 pages of Who Let the Dogs out. You will find some good examples.

Here is one that doesn't quite fall in that 88-90 range. It's a 1894. I would like to have a early one with 3-dogs.

No I was just curiouse ! The DH I have at the house is well worn and the one I should have in a couple weeks I never got a real good look . Both were manufactured in 1889 .

Craig. The one I showed is 55804

The sides seem to be fairly standard but the floor engraving varies
