My Elsie is an "O" grade which means it came before the "00" grade and made sometime prior to or in 1913. My Elsie has very nice wood. Not a whit of engraving anywhere. Damascus barrels, but it is very difficult to see the twist pattern. My GH is about the same age and also has very nice wood except for the forearm which is in pretty lousy shape, checkering almost gone, so someone shot the dickens out of it. F & F. The damascus pattern is not too clear. Both guns are pretty heavy. They are really quite similar and indeed the Elsie is a side lock which I prefer to the box lock, but of course the engraving on the GH is rather nice, a bit understated. Elsie has zip engraving...too bad.
