"The ivory inlay was a trademark of Burt Becker, and definitely is seen in the old photos."

Burt Becker didn't build BoWhoop, it's a Fox that was bored by him when he worked there. He didn't start building guns until later years.

"Old letters and descriptions do mention the inscriptions on the barrels, exactly as they exist today."

The only reference I know of to the barrel markings is in that letter and it states that his name is on the opposite barrel from the Julia gun, it says nothing about the Becker name being on it at all. Do you know of another reference I'm unaware of?
