The Special Paragon seems to be a 1904 - 1905 thing. From the January 7, 1905, issue of The Sportsman's Review --

From the April 1905 issue of The Baker Gun Quarterly --

On the back page of the same issue they show this Special Paragon with very fancy checkering --

The regular Paragon from that issue --

By the February 1906 issue of The Baker Gunner the $75 gun with Krupp barrels is the N Grade.

Researcher, my gun numbers #711. My gun has the same checkering as the one in the first two pics. Its faint, but now ill be able to bring it back from seeing the pics. I appreciate your help.
