No ,time was everything the gun was split up between engravers so a best Dixon or purdey could be completed in a few days.if you were paying for realistic game birds that's what you got if not you got a stick smoking a cigarette.sumner or Kell or Tomlinson or morris did game scenes most of the time others did scroll and basic animals.it takes a lot more effort to do a nicely finished bird or squirrel then flying turnup.
