Here's an odd one...

Someone took a DHE Reproduction and had it converted to an "A-1 Custom :eek:." Not to my taste. What do you think?

It was probably one of those that Connecticut shotgun sold in the white?

No, Danny, definitely not. If you look carefully at the engraving, it is standard DHE Repro with the engraving hand chased, scroll for scroll. Even the dogs are the same, just gold inlayed. The engraver did remove 2 pheasants from the bottom and altered the Parker name when he gold inlayed it. Also the checkering is nothing like the Galazan's guns which had much fancier, A-1 Special Parker Repro carving and checkering. Someone went to a lot of expense to tart up a DHE! Here's a Parker Repro A-1 Special; look at the checkering!

Joe
I stand corrected Joe! The panels are not checked either!

That is one strange setter.

Note the serial number on the trigger guard and under the barrels do not match

Geoffrey engraved that gun? The pictures must be very bad.

[Richard Skeuse]

I Do not know.

[Bill Murphy]

I don't think GG would admit to engraving those dogs unless the pictures are not an accurate representation of the workmanship.
