He ordered a AAHE 20/28 straight-grip two-barrel set which is known to still exist. I have the 24" Damascus 28 gauge DHE that he ordered for his wife Jessie A. Bishop.

On page 2 of this thread I posted a few pictures of DH engraving - the top picture is Jessie Bishop's little DHE.

An article on this subject will be published in the near future.
