I'll agree with Wild Skies 100%. Although we have both curlew and whimbrel only the curlew was really hunted up until 1981 when it was then protected. The duck, although crude, most resembles a European Wigeon. Two species typically targeted as wildfowl at the time the gun was made. Lagopus…..
Lagopus while I understand the logic behind your thoughts I have seen Scott engravings to include most any species of Wildfowl and particularly Waders.
At that period of time the shot the Pi$$ out of anything they could eat or sell feathers off of.
