BH found@ Cabella's
 

Just bought a BH 12ga. with pistol grip at Cabella's 2 weeks ago. 30" dam bbrl's very nice orig. cond. has 35% case color really nice wood and the checkering has little to no wear. Came with orig. fitted leather case and period cleaning tools etc. 59,000 serial# made in 1890. All orig. gun know one has fooled with. I thought it was great find.

That was a great find. Congratulations. Have you applied for a letter yet? It would be interesting who paid a great deal of money for that gun in 1900.

very nice find.. charlie

Wow!! Thats how we all would like to find them!! Congrats!!

WOW Very nice indeed! How about a few more close up pictures and let us know what the factory letter says. Craig

Is it just my eyes or did they special order that gun with coarse checkering?

I thought this one might start a little live action on a Sat. evening. I haven't sent for a letter yet so I don't know lots of details yet. JA Nelson from Minneapolis has his name on grip cap. Appears to be factory engraved when new? The checkering I have no idea on? So here are some more pics., The blue on trigger guard is about 80%.

Thanks for posting the additional pictures. Very nice. Thanks again. Craig

Very nice!

A very nice gun indeed. The checkering pattern looks more like what you would see on a CH grade to me.
