Ok, it's cold this morning so I blew off work for a little while and took these out for pics, as promised. Picked these up from Bruce years ago as a pair, he can tell the story of how the matched set came about and background on the rifles. The pinstripe stock bcd45 is the nicest, newest looking one I have ever laid eyes on, the other is nice but is a stock resto, but the original stock was this type and wood type (maybe Bruce can elaborate on that). Still, a matching consecutive set. Notice the differences between them, including barrel blank provider, band and triggerguard types (edit: I think originally this rifle had a blued qnw stamped guard on it when it was found), etc. This is typical of bcd rifles. I would imagine these rifles were built close to each other, but not side by side. Pics of the pair:
