Well, I do not see the barrel engraving, nor is the checkering as ornate on the gun in your picture compared to the one on GI.

I guess the question is, what exactly did you get by going from grade6 to 7?

The gun on GI does have the normally shown No. 7 engraving on the barrels. The checkering on the No. 7 normally included the patch of checkering above and below the stock cheek.

No. 7, 1915 catalogue.jpg

No. 7E FLUES, 12-GAUGE, 28-inch 01.jpg

No. 7E Flues, 12-gauge, 28-inch, early, 1932 SNST 02.jpeg

Even into the NID era.

Dave,

My first take is Grade 6, the engraving on the sides and those dogs, the dogs alone look very much like the 2 Grade 6 Flues that I've seen in the last couple years.

Now that pigeon, I know I've seen that one before, either I've seen this gun, (which I don't think), or I've seen another gun with this distinct pigeon on.

Maybe it is in Walt's book, I know I've seen this pigeon or similar before.

Stan
