Beautiful Grade 4 Bruce - really nice!

Are there any Remington codes on the flats?

Do you know who the initials are for?

Thanks.

Yes. 1939 Rem rebarrel of a damascus gun. Missing the originals but the Rem barrels are beautiful. Well struck, perfectly fitted, twin real ivory beads, .032 and .008. Well contoured as shown following.

No idea.

I like the duck, much better than the flying Turnips. My C's have a Stag on the floorplate. I never will understand that line of thinking. You wouldn't engrave a Mallard on your 30/06....would you?

Bruce, Turnips or not thats a nice 16 and what great chokes for the uplands.

Bruce,

I have a 1904 dh #2 frame 16/20 2 barrel set. The engraving is almost identical. Who was the engraver?

Tom, in answer to your question, it is very rare that any particular Parker engraver can be identified. In this case, none can, and I doubt that the work was done by the master engraver at the time. I believe its journeyman level work. TPS lists the known engravers.

Two barrel sets are uncommon, and a two barrel 16/20ga #2 frame set would be particularly uncommon, for all I know, it may be unique.
