Don't know where the engraver took his anatomy or figure drawing class, but that is an unique gun for sure.

Most engravers never took an anatomy course in their lives... and some of their dogs are good examples,

That they never had an anatomy course was very clear. I still find their art wonderful artifacts from a now gone era. The charm of their drawing, whether of anatomically incorrect humans, out-of-proportioned dogs, or flying turnips, is as period specific as any work from artisans of any period.

Hey, the guy is shooting his custom order Parker with 8" drop at heel.
Nothing wrong with the engraver!
