    This is a 1909 12g 00 with 30" Armor Steel barrels, stamped 4 over 5. The barrels weigh 4lbs 1oz.
    'BH' could be Belknap Hardware, a major distributor in Louisville, KY.



    Here's a 'CHE' on a Damascus barrel



    Unfortunately we are only guessing. Lots of information about the Damascus and Steel barrel stamps here

    Could please post a full size ultra close up image? Or send it to me by jpg attachment to revdoc2@cox.net
