Very nice engraving, but I suspect it is not Parker. If it was all original that would be a fantastic price ,but I think the price reflects what the gun is. The last two all original CHE 16's that went through Julia were $25K +.

I have to agree with Brian. I really like the engraving, but it doesn't look Parker. The dogs
look more life like than you usually see in parker engraving. |

It looks like the engraving has been recut and embellished in the process. I've not seen Parker use digits like the serial number on the tang before.

I'm certainly no expert on engraving but nothing looks right about that engraving.

Don't see that # in the serialization book. The engraving and the boarder of the checkering on the wrist, don't look correct?
Could this one be an Upgrade? |

It wouldn't surprise me if it turns out to be a DelGrego - Runge upgrade. For a CHE in the 1927-28 era there are just too many things that don't ring true to be an original CHE. We will probably never know for sure but it may have been a rebarreled, restocked, reengraved VHE....
Also, the position of the quail's wings on the floor plate, the posture of the dogs and their leg position, the straight front leg always on the viewer's side with the cocked leg always on the off side (all typical 'Runge-style'). The case color in the forend latch finger recess looks very much 'cyanide' and not so much bone-charcoal. The drop points and 'nose of the comb' suggest a Remingtonesque style. JMHO .
