Jason, I seem to have an afternoon free, waiting to go to Canada for some upland hunting tomorrow. Here's an effort by Frank E. Mason, the Baker factory engraver at the time. John Houchins said Mason worked at L. C. Smith in the 1890s and I think came to Baker Gun and Forging Company around 1896. He was the factory engraver for a dozen or more years. Note Mason's initials below the right front foot of the dog to the right. By the way, I really like the scroll where the background is cut away on this gun and on the Loy signed gun Walt shows in the following post.
