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.
