Unrelated, off topic, as I appreciate almost everyone's taste . However, there's something I also like about No engraving ..

I agree, plain clean line is special.

And no one does it better. I remember asking you "how" they do it, nitride, etc ..
You can spot a Heym a mile away .. beautiful machine Kevin.

I have no animal engravings on my double rifles but have them on my bockbüchsflinte in cal. 20/76-.22 Hornet and also on incoming single shot rifle/kipplauf aswell as on incoming custom shotgun. I like them a lot but since my double rifle was intented for both european big game and african game I decided on one without animal engraving.

Thanks for sharing those @homeless, a very unusual engraving, but superbly executed. This is your H&H?

That may be some of my favorite engraving so far! A real dragon slayer.

What caliber rifle is it?

 

[homeless]

I knew they were going to like it, I saw it in its day and I rushed to save them because they were so unusual as well as spectacular

It is worth seeing each of them in great detail, to appreciate each of the details

an idea @matt85:
Why not something similar but with dinosaurs?

 

[Major Bonkers]

Just to give some ideas:

(1) a Westley Richards ‘Black Label’ shotgun;

(2) a Dakota single shot, engraved by Andy Miles;

(3) a Chapuis double rifle in 9.3x74R. NB - this is a boxlock with side plates.

I’ve always been a fan of browning’s engraving on superposed Diana and Midas grades. I don’t know the “style” but they always really struck me with awe.

Obviously, a sidelock offers the sort of canvas for truly magnificent work. But a gifted artist can do remarkable things in a very small space. This lovely deep relief red stag with the bit of gold accent was created by unknown artist when this 9.3x74R was built around WWI.
