Don:
That DH does sound like an exceptional gun, to admire and regularly use, for both regional hunting or skeet -- right to the end. My first choice, last-to-go gun, is its country cousin, a couple of years junior to yours.
It is a 16-gauge 0-frame VH, with 26-inch Vulcan steel barrels, factory choked cylinder and modified, and shipped to Iver Johnson Sporting Goods Co. Boston (the city in which I was born) Massachusetts (the state in which I have always resided) in January of 1907.
Plus, I once shot a daily limit of Ruffed Grouse (4) with the gun, a lucky day for someone of my inveterately amateurish skill level in knocking down either clay or live birds.
