That’s beautiful Craig.
Do you find H. Gough’s signature anywhere on it? .

There’s a difference between engraving skill and drawing skill That example shows both. When you get to the mid-1920s, you see a diminished drawing skill, but good engraving skill. Those early year engravers could draw, and that gun is a great example of it.

I think the same dog posed for the DH I just received, circa 1899.
