Default Checkered triggers ?

I just received an 1889 DH . The triggers are checkered was that typical on D grades and higher ?

The checkering on the triggers of a D grade would likely be a special order request.

I realize it might be a bit difficult to tell but does that “appear” to be factory checkering ?

The fact that the engraved knurling has a border would seem to be a factory job. Order a letter from Chuck - the answer might be in factory records.

I was hoping that border was a positive indication

I already had my CC out to send for the letter when I read your post to be honest LOL's !

Craig, the stock does not appear to have drop points. Maybe it's just the angle, or my eyes, but it might be a hint the gun has been on a bench in it's past.

It has been restocked judging by the lack of drop points and the wrong checkering.

Along with crude inletting and poor checkering. For sure edgar.

But I’ll bet Craig was well aware of the stock issues when he asked about the triggers. But again, he should get a letter if he wants to pursue this gun.

For sure. I feel the triggers are original. And, of course, unrelated to the stock.
