Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Beach I have learned that this BHE belonged to Hiram E. Manville, Jr., grandson of one of the founders of the Johns Manville Co.
If these photos upload, will try more.

Both sets of barrels are marked "Acme Steel." 28 inch bbls have BF, 32 inch bbls have splinter forend. Both sets of barrels marked with Remington repair code "LD3" all serial numbers are the same on all parts of the gun. BF has "2" under serial number and forend lug also stamped "2"
