Where have I seen this AH engraving pattern before?

That's a beauty!!

I believe the chief engraver in that period was Frederick Anschutz.

I have seev that engraving on only a couple of other A's generally when the purchaser specified "no game scenes" or something to that effect.

I think Larry Frey had Wilbur(?) Parker's AHE 20 with similar engraving. Straight grip, 30-inch barrels if I remember correctly.

I remember that gun, when Steve Barnett had it last year. It was the engraving that made it so memorable. Glad to see it got some wood work before being sold at RIA.

No game scenes on this one. AHE 20

Bill,

It's number 221534. Everything matches, although I've not pulled the stock (nor will I...I'll leave that to Brad B. when I drop it off).

Harold,

That's a beautiful gun! Do you happen to know the timeframe for it? The engraving style (not just the pattern) looks very similar to mine.

PS I hope the grouse will be drumming soon in your neck-o-th-woods!

Dean,

Thanks for the information! I had concluded Anschutz also, as the style is so much like other similar vintage guns I've been able to examine, and the serial number places it during his tenure according to TPS.

I also remember when Steve had that gun, didn't see it on the RIA auction. IIRC there was some corroboration that the checkered but was original as I considered putting a pad on it for a longer LOP but dismissed it. It needed a little TLC and IMHO was a tad pricey for what it was when Steve had it.

Harold isn't that your friend Bill's AHE? It's a great gun but he should take that lace up pad off it when not using the gun.
