One of my all-time favorites as well Jay. This is a 32" VR fully optioned 20.

My Lefever EE has nice engraving and the engineering and frame sculpturing design are the best. It's my favorite gun and the last one I'll part with. Yet I believe the Baker has better engraving, livelier and the figures and scene aren't restrained by an oval.

There seems to be a consensus who did the best engraving for LeFever, who was it?

Beautiful engraving! Are the dogs full relief? Or cut in as line drawings?

The entire scene is relief engraving. And the more wear, the better it looks because the deep background doesn’t have nearly the exposure to handling. The dogs, the trees, the fences, the rocks. Now,
Some guns have deeper engraving than others but I’ve never seen a 5 or a Crown that didn’t look realistic. And the dogs actually look like dogs, not cartoon characters scratched out on a piece of scrap paper over beers at a bar.
