Greg, I didn't think I was manipulating your words, but as sweet as a 4 ought frame gun must be, I don't see how it could be a BHE throughout, but with D grade engraving, which is very much less coverage than a B grade. Additionally, lacking a single bead behind the breach balls is not in keeping with any B grade I've seen, nor have I seen a B grade with barrel wedge engraving, which would usually only be sen on some double A grades, and A-1 Special

Edgar, we're in the Parker Reproduction Forum here and we're talking about a Parker Reproduction BHE. Parker Repro BHE Grades typically have barrel wedge engraving. You can Google Images yourself to check 'em out, but I already did that for you with the image below:

Thanks for that image. That one does have the bead behind the bolsters, and the Checkering pattern is pretty faithful to the original, though I guess they took license when they added the barrel wedge engraving.
