As to manufactured quality: The steel in the Reproductions was better than in the older ones, which is simply a matter of technology advances over 50 years.
The Repro's did not use the case coloring techniques the old ones did, and their colors wear off very fast.
Still and all, If I were to try to find an original 28 gauge DHE with straight stock and single trigger.....Wow, the cost.
I think the Repro's; with the exception of the case coloring are every bit as good, if not better.
(Excuse me, while I duck and run for cover.......cause there's sure to be some incomings.)
