Both beautiful guns and great article. Imagine, guns ranging from $50 to $400 in 1897. Any idea what your guns would have sold for back then?

Very interesting and Good research. I would like to see as many pictures of the guns as u have. It's a joy to look at those works of art. Mona Lisa would make a good back drop for them.

Looks like gun shows have been around for awhile. When was the second amendment adopted?

December 15, 1791 was when the "Bill of Rights" was adopted. These were the first ten amendments to the Constitution.

Great to see this article, thanks Craig I've been looking as well. Here's my gun from that same 1897 NY show, sn 83,115. A BH 10g. It also went to the Boston show in 1898, then to the Charles Parker Co. in NY in 1900. After all that hard work, it was sent back to the factory, to "make good as new" again!
