I definitely believe #3 was engraved by Runge and I believe #2 is the work of Frederick Anschutz ( we don’t see that engraving style after 1930 - the year Anschutz died) and I believe #1 is the work of William Gough.
#4 has me stumped. I’ve seen that engraving before and we even see it’s replicaton on a small number of Repros too. It was engraved during Runge’s tenure as chief engraver for Remington but it is not Runge’s work. Probably done by a very accomplished engraver working under Runge. Possibly Charles Forest...?
That’s just my take guys...
