Craig,
You are redefining the definition of a "B Keeper". Beautiful guns!

[Garry L Gordon]

Beautiful guns. All of them.

[Dean Romig]

All of my C's have gone down the road to new homes. I think there were 7 between the hammer guns and the hammeerless.

Could we see a close up of the engraving on 111224, Craig? It looks to be fantastic.

While I'm asking, both side views and the floor plate view would be nice. :corn:

[Craig Larter]

Stan per your request

[Stan Hoover]

Thanks for showing us those beautiful B's Craig and Bob.

I must say my eyes keep being drawn to 111224, is that engraving a deeper relief or is that because of the angle of the picture??

Love the fine Damascus on the 2 upper guns!!

The engraving on 111224 is deeper with more coverage plus it's a straight grip with good dimensions 1 5/16 x 2 1/4 x 14 3/8. I would say the bottom two guns are very similar to many guns from the same period I have observed. Lighter cut scroll and smaller dogs, most also have two dogs on the trigger plate flushing a bird.

Bob, the screw heads on the side of the receiver are a nice touch. I don't think I've seen that before.

[Dean Weber]

Bob,
What serial range is your 16? My BHE 16 is 227 range and it also has the engraved screw heads. My earlier ones do not.

The flower on Craig's 1904 gun is nice.
My 1892 16ga BH is 72,xxx and was owned by Parker for it's first few years, as a show gun. It has a Fishtail top lever.

A 1925 and 1922 Vintage pair of B's with engraved screws. Both are 12 bores, the 1922 is a 3 frame.
