Checkered Butts on High Grades
I have run into a few guns over the years where the order states no heel or no butt plate. These guns have turned out to be high grade (D or higher) with checkered butts. I have a BHE 16 where the order states no butt plate. The gun has a checkered butt. I am aware of a AA that states no heel plate. I am not talking about the latter Remington skeet guns which came with a checkered butt. The two guns I have referred to are prior to 1915. I know I have done a couple of letters with this request but I have no way of going back and finding them.
If anyone has an early checkered butt D grade or higher, I would really like to see photos.
