I would think “silver” to be a better term for that. To me, “white” would me new and unfinished.

How many pristine examples such as the one discussed in this thread exist? Is this the 1 out of 100 or 1000 ... used 20 gauge DHE Parkers?
After you purchase it, can you minimize its use to keep it in the top 1% condition of all other 20 gauge DHE Parkers? Ken |

I discovered that it is very difficult to commit to maintaining a top 1% (or less) gun in that kind of pristine condition. It is a responsibility of dedication without question. And if we dont take on that responsibility, future generations will be without those benchmark examples to refer to for what they looked like when they left the factory.
And now I find myself with yet another..... .

I couldn't do it. Feel fortunate to have rounded up a few to make memories with people I hold dear at shoots and dogs I love afield. You have to take your hat off to somebody that has looked after that gun for a longtime.

I've hunted with a really cherry VH28 straight grip OO frame for 40+ years and it looks in the same condition as when I bought it. I hunt at least 10 times a year with the last PHE 20 made (according to PP) and it's in 80% or better condition. I would not hesitate to take that gun (the DHE 20) on my next trip to wherever.
Dean; Take that Fox and shoot the shot out of it. They can handle it.
