Interesting idea. Your Pape is unusual for a British gun, particularly the background for the carving - it looks more German. These are the fences from a Verney Carron Commodore from the 1950s:

Here are a few from my collection: All have been dated between 1900 and 1930 Lovena 12 gauge  Pieper 12 gauge  Manufrance Ideal  J & W Tolley 12 gauge single shot  I'm not sure how well it shows in the photo but the sculpting on the Tolley has then been engraved.

1959 16ga. Antonio Zoli, carved/deeply engraved??  
Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?

Carved fences on a Verney-Carron Silversides (their top model, and unfortunately not mine) 
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Raimey, that is a Ideal Perfection 16 gauge I found for sale last year about this time of year. It sold VERY fast. 2 hours after I saw it, once I had determined to try to get it, it was gone.
