Looking at the Emil Linder BHE-Grade .410-bore again in Larry Baer's books. On page 73 of Volume II, Larry states "Other than an AAHE .410 I have seen, but am unable to show you, this is probably the best of the .410 Parkers. It is a mint BHE which is also discussed in Volume I."

Dave, looking as closely as I can with a magnifying glass (I sure wish Larry could have published better pictures) I can see big differences in the trigger guard engraving. For instance, the positioning of the 'rose' blossom is different between the two.
My guess is that Runge had drawn a very distinct and detailed engraving pattern and engraved them extremely close to that pattern and to each other... until it came to the trigger guard bow. . .

I came across this recently, it is a letter from Mr.Runge regarding some work that he did. He included his original drawing on the engraving.
I know that it was part of 3 guns that were done, all Delgrego/ Runge works. Thought this was pretty cool.

I think you've got me Dean. I'll blame it on the picture you used being from Volume One of Larry's work, while I used the picture from the combined volume!!

Meanwhile, got the teaser for the December Poulin's Auction today which shows a Runge engraved Remington Model 17F "Premier" Grade. Wonder if it is a Runge/Delgrego upgrade?

I was able to get a picture of the second one, didn't get one of the 3rd.
Two were Trojans, the 3rd is a VH
