...sorry friends, but the engraving...

It looks like the engraver did see the animals in real life, even not in the zoo.

The lion looks like a muntant, combinated with an wulf...

So very polite ...

One sees all sorts of engraving on many brands of rifles, from works of art to plain to less skilled at times.

Actually if you look at some of the drawings and paintings of early depictions of lions and other beasts they can be a little off many times. I know a building in a nearby city has two great lion statues at its doors with erect ears which give them a dog like appearance.
