What do you think of this one?

Nice engraving, but it's too bad that there are not some animals, IMHO.

Short barrels, short stock, no engraved animals! Ha! We all lucked out.

Garry,
I'm happy it only has 26" barrels! Otherwise ?

That gun “is you” ! You roll in Maine with that one and eyebrows might be raised

If I am not mistaken, I owned and sold that gun around 30 years ago. It came out of a big collection in Bowling Green,Ky. I remember the floral engraving with no game scenes. I sold the gun to a customer in Oregon through a dealer in Pa. The collection had some wonderful guns that I wish I had been able to hold on to. A DE 20 gauge Fox 2 barrel set was one I never should have sold. I am sure we all have guns we wish we could buy again.

The one in TPS you have or had was serial number 178209 but this one Merz has for sale is serial number 191767 .

No animals (cartoon characters) isn't that uncommon. I recently sold an AAHE that IIRC was all floral engraved. Some time ago I sold a BHE live bird gun that was all floral engraved and I have a BHE 20 that's floral engraved.
My AHE 20/28 unfortunately has the deer/stag on the floorplate. I much prefer the floral engraving vs the cartoon characters.

The ding in the wood at the top of the skeleton butt plate would have made me cry if I owned it.

I’ve been looking for an AAHE with Santa Clause on the floor plate , if I find one I’ll affectionately refer to it as “My Rich Gun” . All jokes aside I like the ones with deer/elk on the floor plates .

Big game animals have no place on a shotgun. Ever seen a high grade rifle with Quail engraved on the floor plate?
