Excellent observation Raimey-all the Remington damascus patterns are up on the 'Colt and Remington Damascus' album

This is Ross' B Grade 1894 with fine "Three-stripe" "Oxford 4 S.J." The scrolls in the pattern on the Purdey are smaller, and a big however is the fact that Remington almost certainly obtained their damascus from Belgium. We've been able to identify several makers, but still don't know who 'S.J.' might have been. The search goes on.
