I am going with "a shoot held on that date". As I said earlier, LA84.com Sporting Life shoot entries end in 1916, but there are other sources. I also suspect a field grade military officer who was stationed in Europe in WW2. Read the other thread for some more information.

Looking at the example of “Champagne Font” Gary posted on page 3, I don’t think there can be any doubt the middle letter is an H. Interesting to see this old thread resurrected and read the incredible circumstances that brought this gun to light. I wonder if Mikel will see this?

would it make it easier if you could post both the initials on the butt and gary's champagne font alphabet next to each other on the same post?

Yes go ahead and do that. Be easier to compare.

Mike,
I do not know how to do that, I can barely turn on a computer. Hoping someone else can do that.
