Dean, there are several factors which may affect a variation of a particular grade's "theme". Some of the factors are; an individual engraver's personal artistic style, a buyer may have requested 'extra engraving', but there may be other factors. It has been my experience that an engraver's personal artistic style is the one factor which stands out more than others. The DHE 28 ga. that you showed us pictures of has the engraving style most often attributed to Anschutz where his birds and dogs showed very little shading or contour (if any at all) of musculature or feather pattern or flow of fur and hair.
