Default 16ga

One of two known. For the person who likes unusual details, this one is a 1910 gun but has the characteristics of one made about 1900, such as a thin comb nose and plain grip cap. Next, it has the 1905 soldered angled bolt plate without side channels.

All visible and hidden numbers match.

I am fortunate to own this gun and grateful to a long time friend for the opportunity.

Bruce whats the distance from the end of the top tang to the nose of the comb? It looks to be very short as is my CHE Bernard 16.

The most outrageous late Cs I have seen were displayed in Randy Shuman's shop. They were a consecutive numbered pair of 20 gauges cased in factory oak and leather. They seemed to be identical to the pair of A1 Specials known by those who have seen them as "The Yellow Guns", because of the very light colored English Walnut stocks. A recent owner of these guns made the ridiculous decision to refinish the stocks darker. The pair of late CHE 20 gauges was stocked in similar wood. Maybe they will show up at Louisville.
