WOW. When it's lovely to be crass...

I know folks are currently enamored with Bulino or Banknote engraving, but give me the (still-real, but stylized,) engraving of the early 20th century. Teddy Roosevelt once said "I know what I like," but he was talking about apples, not art. With art I think for most it's rather "I like what I know." Makes you want to know more.

On the bottom of the frame, that dog climbing the fence is so cool!

Some great engraving on those pre McGraw Ithaca doubles.

This is my favorite. An early factory engraved Spencer.

[Daryl Hallquist]

I've looked for years for engraved Spencers and Burgess and other very early repeater shotguns. I have never seen anything like your Spencer. Congratulations

[Ken Waite III]

Thank you Daryl! Sounds like we have something in common. Here is one more you might like.

The Spencer with the Prairie Chicken and chicks with the hill and split rail fence in the the background is a beautiful engraving scene, among my favorites in this thread. The ducks on the other side are just great too. In both scenes, the case coloring gives an impression of clouds.
