Bruce,
That is one sweet gun and a fairly nice stick of wood too. In my limited knowledge it seems to me that the older guns (cira 1890's) had some exceptionally well figured stocks, better than the latter years in general. I know from time to time you will see a later GH with a very nice stick of wood too. I had to recenty had to sell my #1 frame cira 1890 GH Damascus gun (but hopefully i'll get it back one of these days). It had the 11 ga bores that were somewhat common back then. My #1 frame weighed in excess of 7-1/2 lbs if my memory serves me correct.
