I'd certainly agree that the engraving is a very high % coverage and of very high quality. The composition is --- well --- confusing. I have to admit that the use of scroll, rose bouquet, and animal scene is novel.

Interesting to see best work on a flat back with a through lump, too. A very good example of best work that doesn't conform to the London pattern for best guns.

Is the "Trade Mark" on the floor plate WPJ?
