专家说明

The engraving on these guns was inspired by the work of Stanley Todd, one of Britain's finest wildlife artists and designer of the promotional illustration for Famous Grouse Whisky. In all, only two pairs of guns and one single, Stanley Todd's own gun (see Christie's sale September 4th. 1996, Lot 223), have been engraved in this style.
