I love those Wood Ducks engraved!
The engraver even detailed the black & white flank feathers. . .

Very nice BH Grades there Garry,
If you ever need to move the 20 along, please let me know. I love the Fine Damascus pattern there. |

Gosh, Dean, I'm not sure. I've been sorting photos (a foul weather chore to bide my time). The guns are packed in the safe. When I do my Spring wipe down, I'll check. The 16 gauge, as I mentioned, is a very late gun -- 1924 if I recall correctly. I imagine it was a special request (it was given to a NY banker according to the order letter I have). The pattern on it is not as fine as on the 20 gauge, but beautiful nonetheless.
