BH Have you seen this before???

[Craig Larter]

OK thanks so what you are saying is the damascus grade (pattern) looks correct for a BH but how about no band engraving at the breech end of the barrels??

Craig, If you look closely at my lousy pictures you will see that there is indeed an engraved band at the breech.My B is in the 84,000 serial range quite possibly earlier guns were made sans breech engraving.
