There is a two-gauge AAHE 20/28 gauge two-barrel gun on record with similar floral engraving. The order for this specific gun is recorded as "engrave same as the BH".

Obviously the gentleman who ordered this little AAHE had seen a BH on display either at Parker Bros. in Meriden or at their New York salesroom with the same full scroll and floral engraving and was quite taken with it.

Jeff, do you mind telling us what year your gun was made? I have seen some similar features in engraving in another gun and wondered if it was the same engraving period.

Was the original buyer a known pigeon shooter?
