Thanks Bruce
Engraved shields are too uncommon. And when you do see them engraved, there is no way to decipher them. I wish that was a software program that you could enter the 3 initials and it would give you names that match. I'm sure NSA has one. |

Very nice Bruce and "Turnip Farmer" of the Gloden Fleece.
Of the initials displayed on those shields and caps are the corresponding names known? .

My DH 10 had an engraved shield, but the engraving was too worn out when it came into my possession. I have a good mind to get it re-engraved in a period correct manner.
Very cool and thanks for sharing these photos |

Many are aware of the significance of the name Fletcher in the history of the United States Navy. |

That's very nice Bruce. I think Rear Admiral Thomas Perry may have been a bit more conservative in his choice of graded Parkers - in 1908 he chose a 20 gauge DH.

Lovely wood and a historically significant gun.
Is the butt plate horn? |

Thank you Bruce.
No, that's a very nicely done leather covered pad that Abe Chaber did for me. When I bought the gun the stock had been cut and a horrible recoil pad had been poorly installed. I have no clue where the skeleton butt plate went to, but it did have one originally. .
