Default DHE Question

I saw a DHE for sale advertised as being all original without alterations. It has a DHBP. Were grade three ever made with buttplates other than skeleton steel??

Generally speaking a DHE would have either a SSBP or a checkered butt.

Well, that was my assumption too. Apparently, the seller either isn't knowledgeable or is misrepresenting the gun. Or...

I could also be fitted with a Silvers pad or Hawkins pad but if the customer wanted a DHBP he could order it. A letter would confirm that. Never say never but probably not.

I had a “C” grade that lettered with a Dogs head butt plate #90681 so never say never

There are records of such guns. I'm certain Chuck Bishop will be along to verify this.

Be cautious of the gun. Close inspection of details and verification of records will be very important.
