My BH(E) 20ga 28" damascus, ser# 84040 was also shown at the 1898 Boston show!
It had previously been to the 1896 and 1897 New York Exposition shows at Madison Square Gardens.
The gun was sold in late 1898 to the original owner who returned it to the factory several times over the years for refreshing, and finally for ejectors and new 26" fluid steel barrels in 1937.
