That's a beauty!!
I believe the chief engraver in that period was Frederick Anschutz.
I have seev that engraving on only a couple of other A's generally when the purchaser specified "no game scenes" or something to that effect.
I think Larry Frey had Wilbur(?) Parker's AHE 20 with similar engraving. Straight grip, 30-inch barrels if I remember correctly.
