I cant picture Joseph Lang doing anything deceptive, such as a false dollshead. How about thishe wanted something in that area to break up the monotony of the top of the breech. So he decided on a raised oval decoration. Looks rather nice doesnt it. I doubt it ever crossed his mind someone would confuse it with a dollshead. In fact, did the dolls head even exist when this early gun was made, circa 1869-1870? Oh, I just remembered Westley Richards utilized one earlier than this.
