Any gun, old or new, if ordered that way.

The checkered cheeks on the Annie Oakley "Gold Hearts" DH gun were billed out at $3.00 in 1901. Oddly, all the gold plating and extra embellishments on that gun were not billed. One extra gold heart seems to be billed at $5.00 or $15.00 depending on how you read the order.

I am really trying to improve my eye on determining when things have been messed with. I believe that the DHE has been restocked and the way the checkering meets at the top is one reason, comb to grip height seems a little off too. Can anyone weigh in and say why they think it is original or not? Just trying to further my education.

Thanks!

The butt stock appears to be a replacement and, having read the seller's description, I may not be the only one who has this opinion.

If not replaced, at least 'reworked' considerably. The drop points look very 'original' though.

I have no idea whether the gun or guns have been restocked, but no PGCA information can help you. Order book information ends in the 185,000 range. From that time forward, you must rely on your expertise. Buy The Parker Story and a full set of the Double Gun Journal and much more information will come to you.
