Looks like a 1898 Boston Exposition Gun!! Not listed in the PS. Thanks Chuck!

Craig,
Very nice BH, I was watching it, and didn't bid because of other projects. (rebuilding the furnace!) The letter certainly presents interesting history, crossing three different "books" in it's early history.

Thanks for the comments everyone. It's not a closet queen but it looks like a nice solid example untouched that could use a gentle cleaning. It appears to have some CC and a strong Damascus pattern. The bonus for me is the ball grip gold capped, and the fact that it is a 1898 Boston Show Gun. I will post some better pictures when I get it in hand.

I received the gun yesterday. The barrels checked out, min. walls, bores, chokes etc. The left barrel does have two tiny dents that I will have John Hosford take care of at the Southern. Wood is in great condition and untouched. The skeleton butt had the three small screws in the wrong holes so I took care of that. The rear tang screw needed tightening so I removed the trigger guard and the stock was stamped correctly. Love the engraving. I'm happy.
