I have seen that on Baker, Syracuse Arms, and maybe some other guns, too. Kind of nice to look at. I don't know what to call it.

Is there an inlay at the flute or is that a reflection?

Here's a similar flute on a Baker with an inlay.

I like that. A similar inlay in ivory may be part of my next project gun.

Gents, thanks for the wonderful thread, it's a lovely Christmas gift.
Ian,
The comb flute on the Adolph stocked G&H is very distictive. It looks so different because the flute's edge is slanted upward towards the heel, instead of a standard down-angle towards the toe. Doug Mann has stocked with that style comb flute and he didn't have a name for them when I asked. The design seems to leave more room for the meat of one's thumb as well as looking so cool. Next time you have the H&R 10 GA out of the safe, I'd appreciate it if you'd tell me if it's more complex a design than I'm seeing in the pictures.

Mr. Beach, your photo is wonderful. How does one figure out who engraved these guns ? We often think Kornbrath, but are we sure. Who has other examples ?

I don't want to step on any toes, but I have read that "All early engraved G&H rifles were engraved by Rudolph Kornbrath." Is that a true statement. It sure would make it easy to put a label on an engraving job.
