Where have I seen this AH engraving pattern before?
I've acquired an AH 16 that was built in 1927. Unfortunately, there are no records for this gun. It has the articulated trigger and gold cap on the round knob grip, but is without ejectors (to my liking), or skeleton butt plate (which I wish it did have...it has a checkered butt). The engraving is well executed but has no game scenes or dogs, etc. -- only tight scroll work. The style of engraving
corresponds to the head engraver (can't recall his name now) from the period.
The gun is built on a #1 frame with 28 inch barrels, weighs 6 lbs. 5 oz., and has high stock dimensions. The chokes are fairly open (just like I would have "ordered"). I wish I could know the history behind the lack of ejectors and checkered butt.
I am positive that I have seen this engraving pattern before, and I'm plodding through my DGJs to see if that is where I saw it. In the absence of records, I'm looking for any scraps of information that might shed some light on this gun.
Has anyone seen this pattern before, and do you recall where?
