Default Any examples of original Parker grouse?

Wondering if anyone has an example they would like to share that might help me with a project I am working on. Looking for original parker engraving of ruffed grouse.

Default Grouse engraving

John, just go to the Parker Grades portion of the this PGCA website forums and click on the grade 6 hammerless pictures. There is a very nice floor plate with a grouse engraving in the right hand column pictures. HTH. FV.

All three Invincibles have ruffed grouse but they are gold inlays.
