That’s a pretty good but I if I’m allowed to put in my two cents worth I would have to suggest getting the HE in there somewhere. Maybe a list of six?

Bo Whoop
Teddy’s FE
Late style engraved BE smallbore with long barrels
Straight grip XE (Bo Whoop kinda covers this)
Sterlingworth ejector 16ga or 20ga

Yes I the HE should be included but with only 5 it's very difficult a choice.

1) Wayne Junction Sterlingworth with ejectors
2) Early 16 ga. CE straight grip SFE 26" bbls
3) Late Philly Gen 2/3 A Grade 32" straight grip 20 ga. extractor gun (ASK me about it!)
4) C or D HE 32" straight grip 12 ga
5) K Grade 32" straight grip SBT

5 guns is not enough; there are additional styles in gauges available to fully round out a true museum-quality exhibit presenting the true variations and diversities in these guns. Its what I strove for in my table displays over the years. Helps to satisfy the never-ending questions like, "What about 32" BE Grade 20 gauges?" Kevin

Kevin, I doubt there is a Wayne Junction address ejector gun. The earliest Sterlingworth Ejector I've recorded is 58901, well into the Model 1911 era. No mention of ejectors in The Sterlingworth Co. catalog --

A limit of 5 makes this very difficult.

20 ga. Sterlingworth
16 ga. Gough era AE w/half pistol
12 ga. Early CE w/half pistol
12 ga. XE w/half pistol
12 ga. Gough era DE w/full pistol

Some great recommendations thus far. Hard to have just five or six but I’d add a vent rib gun of some type since there is so few of them out there!

Yeah I guess i was thinking of Pin Guns in general; I've only ever seen 2 of them with ejectors, both well beyond the Wayne Junction address era.

Dave, back up. TR's gun and Bo Whoop are not available. Think of two others that may be available for a display. I think the GAM single L Grade would satisfy the GAM and the single barrel categories. Who owns the GAM single L Grade today?

I think a “Cut Out” gun should be in there.
