Ted, I have the Flynn article somewhere, but I can't seem to put my hands on it. When you refer to game scene engraving, as I recall from the article, that was only on a small number of 12ga sidelocks. Most of the 12's and all the 20's had scroll engraving. Or you may be referring to the BSS Grade II, which was a boxlock with game scene engraving on a French gray or coin finished receiver. I believe all of the Grade II's had game scene engraving--and sometimes you'll see asking prices close to sidelock money! Then there are the "bottle sets", which are also boxlocks with special engraving, and an even higher price tag.
