Its too bad many engravers never saw a live flying parsnip or a dog on point. Both in this case appear to have been taken from a comic strip. The rest of the engraving while quite simple is at least in good taste and pleasantly executed.

When I look at an Ideal it is the grace of the lines that run from the wrist to the rounded receiver that make it exotic looking. I think a POW grip significantly detracts from that.

None-the-less I bet its a grand gun to take to the field.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
