DHE-16 just bought on GB

[SXS OHIO]

The DHE arrived...barrels are cut back to 26 1/8" and looks good, tubes touch. Small amount of pitting in the right tube just short of the muzzle. Chokes measure cyl/.002 Other than that it is super condition, never a screw turned, only normal use. Lever is right, ejectors work perfectly. I do notice the lifters do not lift unfired shells up out of the chambers... only 1/8 or 3/16 ? they should lift them up so as to remove them easy like 3/8" or so. The unfired rounds are hard to remove. 2 5/8 chambers, barrel weight 3lb-4oz and the gun weight is 6lbs-4 1/5 oz. Early engraving is very nice, little color case on exterior, barrel blue is original at 90% or better with a couple rust blems but not bad at all. I think I will keep it. I would like to get a extra set of DE 1 frame 16 barrels for it if anyone would have a set to sell. thanks all SXS ohio...

Photos are in the gunbroker link in an early post on this thread. Great gun. Hurry up with the PGCA letter. It could include original owner information as well as repair work done before 1919.
