An Interesting Serpant Engraving....

[Bill Murphy]

Has anyone found a Gough signature under the trigger guard on a gun lower than A Grade?

I just took an 1893 World's Fair BH 10 apart to look for signatures. (That's what I do every Thursday that it rains.) I couldn't find a signature under the trigger guard, or anywhere else, but the animals sure look like the ones pictured here. I never cared much for the elk or stags until I looked at them under a high power glass through the case color. Wow. The dogs are those sinister looking ones but with black faces, which makes them look even more "possessed" as Dean describes them. OK, what is the serial number of the serpent gun?

Bill, I want to be at your house on all the rainy Thursdays, then..??!!

OK - the owner e-mailed me the serial number (I thought I posted it already, but it doesn't matter, because if I did - it would have been incorrect..!!! as he transposed two digits

Anyway - # is 56254 making it an 1889 AH...

Best to you folks!

John,
The serial # book list 56254 as CH Grade. Maybe we could get pic of the serial? Maybe the book is wrong.
