VHE 20 gauge

Cyanide case colors are not original. The quality of the walnut is correct for a VHE but it looks to have been restocked and the forend has at least been re-checkered.

This gun has no safety so it's pretty likely the interest in it will be limited but the barrel length may make up for that.

Ah, I missed the no saftey issue. That would be a deal killer for me. I'm too old and clumbsy to be handling a gun with no saftey anywhere but a shooting range.

30" barrels, tapered rib, no safety, serial number possibly low enough for a letter with order book information, what's not to like? Oh, the price.

No safety doesn’t bother me . But I doubt I’d hunt with this gun if I owned it . I have a pair of DH 12 pigeon guns that left the factory safetyless and I really enjoy shooting them in the pigeon ring , at sporting and at pheasant tower shoots . If I have one at a tower shoot I usually stand waiting with the gun cracked open loaded with the muzzle resting on my toes , when a bird comes I lift it close it and go on with the program no harm no foul .

The chokes in this gun if they actually are M/M would make me reconsider , I’d be more comfortable with M/F or even more so with F/F !
