Thanks George!
YIKES! looking for some background, i found a long thread on this subject from 2012, although primarily concerning Flues guns....
It was a long and interesting read. Apparently these two names stir up real demons in some!!!
I love the look Hobbs, my Vizsla, gives me following my second miss in a row.

The late Charles Semmer told me he thought this Remington was Loy engraved --

The dogs heads on the right look especially like Loy's.

Walter, your one with the setters is very nice. It is good to see that there were a few exceptional engravers that did justice to making dogs look like dogs.
A.E. Spangler was another one whose setters were "setters".

There's a post over on the Parker BBS titled "Who let the Dogs out" Mostly Parker Dogs but there's a decent discussion and showing of Loy engraved guns at the end of the discussion.

My bet is Robert P. Runge (the elder). I have one very similar and the younger said his dad did it. The elder worked at Ithaca for a short time--roomed with Simeon Rogers. No signed Roger guns have turned up to my knowledge. I am away from my files but I seem to remember that Rogers was the executor of Loy's estate??

One more! Grade 4 Lewis. Have no idea who did this one but the engraving looks wonderful to me. I had it restocked and barrels refinished years ago.

Here's a couple of pics of my Grade 4 Lewis as well. Anyone have an idea who did it? I haven't done anything to it yet except color the barrels in Black & White.   Regards Ken

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
