Pawn shop Agrade 20ga

The early style snap-on/-off forearms on A-/AE-Grades had the same checkering pattern as Sterlingworth forearms. My A-Grade 20-gauge 200158 --



But that escutchin shown does appear to have Sterlingworth engraving.

My 1936 vintage Savage-era A-Grade 16-gauge got a quite similar piece of wood --

My brain is getting old. I have an early A grade 16 gauge with snap on forearm and it does indeed have the same checkering as the Sterlingworths. I hate mental cramps.
