Another GHE--Does stock engraving count

[Alligator]

Many years ago( 50 probably) I refinished a 16 gage DH Damascus for a fellow that had a setter in raised relief on the right side of the stock. It was not inlaid and then sculpted but was carved from the stock when it was shaped. I always assumed that it was a special order gun, was this possible? Happy New Year. Lee. (I'd post a smiley or something but haven't been able to figure out how to do it.)

It was possible to order a gun from Stoeger's with "wood carving on rifle stocks". This is from their catalog No. 29 on page 15. Animals were $20. The Parkers were listed on pages 154 and 155. I don't see why they would not carve them as well when requested. I think catalog 29 is a 1937. My GHE was priced at $134.
Since my carving is dated 1932 I think it was done in the field. My hope was it would be a famous decoy carver someone would recognize. Not to date anyway.
