Sharing some pics of an old Pedro Gorosabel SxS made in the 80's. Nothing special but a little different from some of my other Spanish guns...

Just for comparison, pheasants on one of my pre-WW1 German hammer gun, a very different style of engraving.

Very nice herb! Another of your hidden gems. (y)

Different craftsmen; varying style of portraying the grouse - very interesting.

Quite right, always enjoyed the various portrayal.

Here is one of my British SxS made in the 1920's...

As usual, nice guns both, Herb. I recently saw an excellent pair of Gorosabel guns. Probably the best from that maker I think.

Wait, I found them.

Thanks guys, like the birds & scroll I think the rose and scroll engraving is also very popular. Here is an early example on my British SxS made in 1917-18.

Right! I am going over to Toronto to drool over all those engravings the first chance I get, if okay with herb. Wouldn't mind caressing the beautifully finished stocks while I am at it! :lol:
