Dave, looking as closely as I can with a magnifying glass (I sure wish Larry could have published better pictures) I can see big differences in the trigger guard engraving. For instance, the positioning of the 'rose' blossom is different between the two.

My guess is that Runge had drawn a very distinct and detailed engraving pattern and engraved them extremely close to that pattern and to each other... until it came to the trigger guard bow.

I think you've got me Dean. I'll blame it on the picture you used being from Volume One of Larry's work, while I used the picture from the combined volume!!

Meanwhile, got the teaser for the December Poulin's Auction today which shows a Runge engraved Remington Model 17F "Premier" Grade. Wonder if it is a Runge/Delgrego upgrade?

Default BHE .410

The BHE .410 Dave saw in Seattle many years ago does in fact have 32” barrels and a ventilated rib. I have seen the gun and at one time it was in the Robert E. Peterson collection in California. It is logical to assume it orginted in Seattle where Dave originally saw the gun and migrated to California. It is one of three presently known to exist and the only one with 32” barrels and ventilated rib. 😊

In my letters from Emil Linder in the sixties, he talks about the BHE .410, but does not mention a serial number.

Looking at the Emil Linder BHE-Grade .410-bore again in Larry Baer's books. On page 73 of Volume II, Larry states "Other than an AAHE .410 I have seen, but am unable to show you, this is probably the best of the .410 Parkers. It is a mint BHE which is also discussed in Volume I."

I came across this recently, it is a letter from Mr.Runge regarding some work that he did. He included his original drawing on the engraving.

I know that it was part of 3 guns that were done, all Delgrego/ Runge works.

Thought this was pretty cool.

I was able to get a picture of the second one, didn't get one of the 3rd.

Two were Trojans, the 3rd is a VH
