I base my opinion of #2 being the work of F. Anschutz on two facts - the first being that we no longer see the engraving style depicted in the dogs he engraved after the death of Anschutz in 1930 - the second being the fact that in The Parker Story his dogs are described as being “decidedly male.” Not all dogs by this engraver are ‘decidedly male’ but a predominance of them are... ergo my opinion.

As for #1 being the work of William Gough, until I learn Gough’s date of death I’ll hold my opinion. We know that W. Gough did contract work for other gunmakers and Parker Bros. may not have kept him on as chief engraver if he was working for others... Again JMHO.
