This my M97 Aubrey hammergun. The M97 was the top grade for hammer guns. I purchased this from John Mann.











You can see the stipling on this late 1907 gun. Later, they dropped the stipling.

The swirled pattern on the sidelocks looks a bit like the encised oak leaves on the Ideal grade LC Smiths- not as well done of course--

Is it my bad memory, or were the hammerless grades more finely finished than the hammer guns? Neat gun, thanks for sharing.

Norm,

I tend to agree with you. I prefer the hammerless guns. This is a M55 with chain link damascus. The M55 was the second highest grade in the early catalogs. I recently purchased a M58 with chain link damascus, but have not gotten around to taking pictures of it. Without even looking at the serial number, you can tell it is a later gun because of the engraving.



This is my M55, an earlier gun. This one has Krupp barrels.
