Wow thank you !!! You are correct. And if you can believe it I know where the correct one is. There were two guns in the auction a dhe and this one. I just looked over the pictures of the dhe gun and it was wearing a grade 5 forend as you pictured!! I have just emailed to auctioneer to make contact with the successful bidder of the dhe and make a trade happen.. can you believe that!!!! Holy lifting Thank you for posting the forend pic..
