There is a two-gauge AAHE 20/28 gauge two-barrel gun on record with similar floral engraving. The order for this specific gun is recorded as "engrave same as the BH".
Obviously the gentleman who ordered this little AAHE had seen a BH on display either at Parker Bros. in Meriden or at their New York salesroom with the same full scroll and floral engraving and was quite taken with it. .
