No, single bead is correct. The stock is checkered as an AH or BH, but not AAH.

I strongly disagree with your statement Edgar - it has the ‘foliate flourish’ of the AAHE. The AH and BH were quite a lot more subdued. Some AAHE’s and A1S had an even longer one but I think it depends on who the checkerer was and possibly the period.

Why am I not surprised?

I’ve never seen a double A without the enclosed checkering surrounding the fleur.
I wasn't saying anything about the "foliate flourish", back on the body of the stock, only the checkering at the head of the stock.

Sorry Edgar - I must have misunderstood your meaning… however, I can’t be held to blame in this because you never made mention of the checkered cheek panels.

I shouldn't have had to mention anything about the checkering within the cheeks, as they are the same on BH, AH and AAH. Aside from that which has nothing to do with what I was asking in my original post, the checkering treatment around the Fleur de lis is treated entirely differently on a AA, than a B or A.
I hope you didn't exhaust yourself, strongly objecting for nothing.

I don't understand ten percent of this argument, so I will bail out. I just realized that I have an AA somewhere, but I'm not going to drag it out to look.

Bill, I wasn't argueing at all. I simply stated that I disagreed with a statement someone had made.

Thank you Edgar for reinforcing the exact point that I had made.

Oh? And what was that? Do you agree the treatment of the checkering surrounding the fleu de lis on the gun shown (on the back page of the PP) is not consistent with an AAH?
