Pete, are those pics of the sidelock from your files or a gun you have? Looks a lot like one that was at auction at Rock Island a couple years ago.
Just saw some pics of a boxlock that is the same action as the one I posted above but is mid way between the one above and the next lower grade I have. Haven't seen the engraving pattern before. It has the basket-weave chequering like mine should have and the sidelock you posted, it has the drop points like the sidelock, but unlike mine and the engraving is rose and scroll. It's a 12 gauge and missing the forend so if anyone knows of a potential parts gun, please drop me a line. Put back together it might be a lovely Pieper.
