Other than the picture of the trigger guard with "BJ", I can't tell which gun is which. Also the pictures are too small for good identification.

By all appearances, that gun was engraved by Bill Johns. It's an interesting example of selective gold plating.
Thanks for the answer . I have a hard time picking my favorite of these , I do like the eagle on the one. Your book looks great .Thanks Randy
