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?

Edgar the question was not posed to me directly but, yes I agree. We have seen at least one AH with the checkering around the fleur in the same fashion as an AAH but I do not ever recall seeing an AAH with checkering around the fleur, or lack of such as the one you have referenced. It is more consistent with an A or B as you previously noted. Might make for an interesting letter.

The question was directed to anyone, so thank you for taking the time to let me know I wasn't imagining it. Since there were so few AAH guns made in 28ga., it makes one wonder if a letter would contain "make like......" or some such validation of it's origin. Without that, it could mean mistake, restock, upgrade, or several other possibilities. It would certainly seem, at least from the picture, that the gun is an AAH, and why the stock is anything else, adds to the mystique. Certainly would still be the crowning piece in anyone's collection.

This BHE just turned up on GI, checkered like an AA.

When CSMC says “make offer”, the price is too high. SN looks to be Photoshopped out of the trigger guard tang. Maybe it’s just me, but my spider sense tingles when I read their ads.

Ya gotta start somewhere.
While I was sitting on the couch talking to Tony, Lou came to him and asked about an email inquiry. The gun in question was marked $9995, and Tony said without hesitation "$8500". If you're not savvy enough to make an offer, you either didn't do your homework, or you don't know what something's worth.
