Neat gun. And with some condition too. A good one for thise who collect and appreciate the odd ones that the factory made on request.

It is a very interesting gun in my opinion, it is a Grade 7 so a AAHE not a AHE.

Gun does not appear to have ejectors.

Even the rib extention is un-engraved.

Dean, the three guns you mention do not seem to have any connection.

Bill, do you have research data on the CH and the BH?





.

The CH was sent to an Army officer in the wild frontier, the Dakotas. The BH was well into the "no order book" era. Absolutely no connection among the three.

Thanks Bill - I guess there were a few eccentrics in those days, just as there are today. There's just no accounting for some people's tastes.

Did anybody notice if the subject gun has the gold grip cap insert or the gold oval in the toe line?

So the level of wood, checkering, barrels, and frame sculpting make this gun a Grade 7... nothing else, because the internals do not differ from those of a VH but for a bit of polishing.

It's a very nice gun and a unique AA but to my taste it sure is missing something.





.

Now Dean... dont you know that the type of steel is what makes the grade of the gun? At least that is how PB advertised it.

I would be curious if there was a discount for no engraving. I have seen that on a letter for a DH that had no engraving.

The engraving dept got a break on this one. Well, more like they got to move onto the next gun in line.

Another interesting feature on this one is it has a safety.

Most of the current myth & legend has it that Pigeon guns didn't have safeties. Now we see this one which is marked Pigeon Gun on the rib & it has a safety. I wonder if it's auto-setting?
