Send the top screw to Geoffroy Gournet. He'll do it. I have a few Cs and Ds and the top screw heads are very similar if not the same on 'standard' engraved guns. I am sure "Mr. C Grade" Brother Day has a few photos ready to go. If not I'll dig one out of the safe and take a picture for you.

Here's a 1904 CHE.
The trigger plate screws are engraved the same as these. Your side panel screws are correct as is. If you notice an anomolly in the immediate photo below, its that this gun was originally a no safety gun so it had the curved top tang. It was sent back to have the safety added, so the tang was ground flat and SAFE hand engraved. Nice gun, Bob. Turned out very well. Bruce |

Thanks Tom and Don.
Tom that link doesn't appear to work anymore ? What would be the recommended way to correct the trigger guard screw... fix old one or replace... just trying to get my ducks in a row... if the old one can't be re engraved and look right I have to try and locate one. Cheers Bob |

Thanks Bruce, they look like a D and look simple enough, I thought I had seen a C with the oval or tear drop in a circular pattern.

I don't know what you mean by oval or tear drop. If you mean the circular side panel engraving , the roundell engraving , yes there are maybe 20% of C's from 1900 to 1905 in that style. The stock drop points are constant until the Rem era comes along. And , to be anal about it, there are differences between C and D screws. The differences are subtle, but there. You saw the C screws above, they have radial lines in a short/long repetition. The D screws below are from a 1910 20ga gun, which is the closest to your year that I have in D's. They have radial lines generally in equal length, except for the TG bow screw which has an unusual center starburst. Now the B screws are really different, and there could be a whole PP article written about grade 5 and up screw head engraving. We could do that next annual meeting banquet.....that would have the ladies asleep in no time. |
