I must say my eyes keep being drawn to 111224, is that engraving a deeper relief or is that because of the angle of the picture??

Love the fine Damascus on the 2 upper guns!!

The engraving on 111224 is deeper with more coverage plus it's a straight grip with good dimensions 1 5/16 x 2 1/4 x 14 3/8. I would say the bottom two guns are very similar to many guns from the same period I have observed. Lighter cut scroll and smaller dogs, most also have two dogs on the trigger plate flushing a bird.

Bob, the screw heads on the side of the receiver are a nice touch. I don't think I've seen that before.

Bob,
What serial range is your 16? My BHE 16 is 227 range and it also has the engraved screw heads. My earlier ones do not.

The flower on Craig's 1904 gun is nice.
My 1892 16ga BH is 72,xxx and was owned by Parker for it's first few years, as a show gun. It has a Fishtail top lever.
