The turnip motif was undoubtedly engraved by a vegetarian maybe even a vegan
 What I don't understand is the big game animals on grade 4 and up. An Elk no matter how well done is out of place on a shotgun. I have never seen birds engraved on the floor plate of a rifle

Good thing the engraver is passed or he might put a boot in your... for calling him that. I like the elk gives Parker that mystique, and you can shoot elk with elk shot.
 Never been a fan of engraving on a bolt gun.

The 3 dog Ds were made prior to 1900 I believe. I have owned 3of them ranging in year of make from 1889 to 1899. Never seen one posted made after 1900 I don't think.

This gun was ordered in 1917 and given as a gift for the Texas State amateur golf Tournament. Traded in on an A1 special 28ga and repurchased by the recipient where it remained basically unfired. Gun had incredible wood for a "D"
Has an interesting history and was special ordered with the dogs. |

We know that Chuck and Traci didn't order that gun. The setters outnumber the lone pointer.
