Based on the floorplate, I see a little extra engraving as compared to a typical DH, but not all that much more.

Nice looking flock of feeding birds. Austin used to get excited to see engraving that showed a "looking back bird". He said it couldn't be more realistic looking with that sentinel bird.

I believe TPS says all the looking back birds were pre 1900 design. May have been associated with Gough but can't remember, the design not the actual engraving

This is what I was referring to. There are little extras like this. She's a DH 20ga straight stock. Built by Parker for the 1896 New York Exposition. According to TPS it was marketed to Lady shooters.

Pretty typical grade 3 engraving, maybe approaching grade 4 execution. Nicely done but not especially elaborate... Maybe just a tad.

What do the side panels of the frame look like? That may be more telling than the floor plate and forend iron.
