Walter, great looking guns.
In your last post first picture I like the way the dogs are in nice scenery without all the scroll. In your last picture, the dogs are lost in the scroll. To me a dog or game scene should be just that.
This is just my opinion.

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 found this gun and the dogs look very similar to mine. The engraving is described as being done by Laythem. Anyone have any information on him? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=493187301Regards Ken
I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

Google Edward Laytham. A 1963 article in the Morning Record says he engraved at Parker Bros. and Ithaca Gun

For whatever it might actually mean, the both sides of the lock-plate just behind the top of the circle where the dogs are engraved, the gun has what Robert Chambers insisted were the Loy back to back initials which was his "signature". Hate to get that one started again...Geo
