I have a flat rib CHE 20. The letter I have does not mention the flat rib. It is the most detailed letter I have, yet no mention of the flat rib.

I think you may be right Craig. It looks like a concaved rib filed flat.

You’re right.
The flower engraved on the doll’s head screw is only partially visible as is the engraved terminal breech border. .

It's a cool old gun made in 1883 just after the introduction of the TL. Min walls are .045 in both barrels and .085 at 9" from the breech. The bores have some pitting but very shootable in my opinion. Very few TL grade hammer guns were made with damascus (25 in all gauges) and 75 in Bernard. I believe Bernard was first offered in 1883?? Any how it needs a bolt replacement I believe and then it's good to go. Too bad someone along the line filled the rib flat but it's just part of the gun's history.

Craig,
That gun sure looks like the rib was made flat after the fact. Was originally concave. The one example of a flat rib hammer gun that I mentioned did letter that way and the frame was also shaped for the flat rib.

I know of a Grade III 16ga in the 18,xxx SN range that has an original high flat rib as described in its PGCA letter. The gun has has lightning cuts in the frame. Has to be unique.

I suspect it was a 0-frame gun Josh?
That is extremely early for such a feature. .
