RCC, photos welcomed and appreciated. I would like to learn more about these shotguns. I will try to find some old periodicals of the references already posted.

Is this engraving typical of the era? The dogs certainly don't look like the ones on my D grade Parker or C grade Lefever. I weighed mine when I got home, and it is a hefty 7lbs. 8oz. But there may be 6oz of bluing on these barrels, HA! Cary, the checkering, I measured as per my crude little gauge is 22lpi. I sure thought it looked finer in the store.

This one is no closet queen. I only got it this way. I'll try to find someone to take off the blue and bring out the damascus. That's all I plan to do to it.

thank you, redoftx.
