Vintage engraving seen on high-grade ($150 grades and upwards) American doubleguns from about 1890 onwards. Although some makers certainly featured more attractive engraving patterns, I don't care who the maker was, it was all excellent work. And though some view many of the engraved animals from this period as caricatures; I could care less, they appear entirely appropriate to the period. Additionally, the stock checkering and carving seen on the high grade American double guns from this period was fabulous, and certainly appropriate with the engraving work these stocks complimented.
