Early 10 Gauge AH

[B. Dudley]

Given how early the serial number is (58911), I looked at the tables in TPS.

This is the 8th AH grade built. and the 6th in 10g.

Looking at other higher grade guns, by this serial number, there were 15 BH grades and 42 CH grades built.

Even though there was one more (23) BH 10 gauge Damascus guns built in comparison to the AH guns I have found the BH 10's seem to be more difficult to find in the market place.
I have been looking for a nice all original one for over twenty years and only
have seen one for sale many years ago. Can only guess the B's were used more
and taken less care of than the AH grades.

A few auctions ago at Poulin's they had a 10 gauge AH with 30 inch barrels.
it had some barrel dents and a pieced in replacement for the back 6 inchs or so of the rib and dolls head. A little rough but I still wish I bought it for the 1800.00 it went for. Still a cool old gun even in its condition.

I really wish he wouldn't put that awful filter on his pictures hiding things. He has some good guns
