I think Loy and I will tell you why. Loy often carved two little "quotation marks" at the peak of his scrolls as we can see on the above gun. These marks can also be seen on the trigger plate of the gold dog--right above the scroll loop in the open space.

So, Nudge... Are you working on getting us some larger or closer pictures of the gun in the first post?

So Walt, are you suggesting the above gun that I and JDW believed to have been done by Glahn was, in fact, engraved by Loy because of the "quotation marks"?

That was my premise (That is a characteristic of his work) BUT studying further, I think I was wrong. Loy used intertwining scrolls -- none here that I can see, and the dog's legs look a bit short for the length of his body--jmo of course.

I learn something every day, and a lot of times it's that what I learned the day before was wrong

I know you boys want me to tell you about the Robert Chambers fool-proof way to distinguish Joseph Loy engraving from all those other guys. You know it too...Geo

Yes George, please do. I know you have made reference to it before - something about the initials JL cryptically engraved somewhere but you'll have to point them out for me, and maybe some others here. Thanks, Dean

DAM16SXS,
I still haven't run down anyone with a better camera yet. Everyone uses their mobile phones now!
I did attempt to take better pics using better light, but i don't think it was much of an improvement, because while brighter, I still couldn't get zoomed into detail any better.
My photography shame shall be known throughout the land...
- Nudge
