gjw,
The Model 12E pictured in my catalogue has 100% coverage, deeply chiseled, heavy, silver scroll, against a black background. There is a small vignette of a game scene on each lock plate and on each barrel panel, surrounded by this scroll work. The game scenes, on the 12's that I have seen, are inlaid in heavy gold.
One of my best friends, who lives in Rhode Island, has a VS model 12E, in as-new condition, two-barrel-set, with wood that would bring tears to your eyes, in a factory-fitted case. It is exactly as I have decribed as far as engraving goes. I have a scanner here beside me. Will scan the relevant page from this catalogue but I have never mastered the trick of posting photos. I can build a double rifle but I can't do this seemingly simple job. I guess it comes with the "golden years". I could e-mail the scanned picture to someone for posting here, if there is a volunteer for the job.
