Here is it's twin, SN 89415, a 12 ga. I have always tried to figure out when the engaving patterns changed from the dogs being towards the front of the frame to later towards the back. The 10 ga shown above adds a little more to my research.
Is the pattern on the floorplate similar to the one shown here?
And for the gentleman who asked whether the damascus pattern can look so good a 100 years later, the pattern on my gun is almost as nice after all these years. This is way I hate to buy new guns that are good looking-you never use them, and I guess the same was true 100 yeras ago!!!
Best, Ray
