IMHO, I'd say there's a slim to none chance that gun was upgraded from a DHE Repro, undoubtedly--at least in my mind, it is one of the "in the white" A1 Special Repros that Galazan closed out, Ken Hurst engraved and case-colored by John Gillette...a nice gun.

We've seen that gun before and it is to the best of my knowledge, one of the unfinished "in the white" A1S guns the Galazan had.
Ken Hurst does wonderful work. I just wish we could see that gun's engraving better. |

The only thing it needs is a original maker case/cover.....The guns were custom engraved and could be many variations and personal tast....very nice price with 16ga. barrels...sweet bird gun...

Very nice gun & I'm with Dean, I'd sure like to be able to see the engraving better.
My bet is the 16ga barrels are Galazan ones rather than Krieghoff's. I don't remember any of the A-1 specials in the white that Galazan's closed out being a 16/20/20 combo set. I believe the case is the Oak & Leather Repro A-1 case and they may not have had the canvas travel covers with them. |

Thanks all for the comments, thoughts and suggestions. I'll have more info and probably questions on Thursday when it arrives. I will certainly post pictures of the engraving.

Here are a few shots of the A1 with the 16 gauge Krieghoff barrels. The engraving is by Ken Hurst and according to him was completed sometime around 20 years ago.
