DHE 20 Late Gun

[ED J, MORGAN]

I like the wood and the color of the finish on it.

I thought the price was on point. What are the chances of finding another one and are you willing to wait??

[King Cobb]

If I was interested in 20s, which the price of said guns is partly why I am not, I would consider the price to be about what I would expect.

[Nick de Guerre]

So it seems the general opinion is the price is in range.

Yikes, I was afraid that might be the case. It is a rare and beautiful gun. My problem is there are more "set money aside for when I see one of THOSE" guns than I have money set aside for.

Save your money and buy a repro at a fraction of the cost.

After your done shooting the repro you'll lose very little compared to shooting a pristine 1940 gun!

No thanks Gary. Much of the appeal of these guns to me is that they were made (at least the 19th century ones) in water-wheel driven, whale-oil and candle lit factories.

CNC guns might be more precise, but don't have the same soul to me.

The 1940 era gun in the OP is a bute, but 50 years late compared to most of the guys in my safe. To hold them, like a stitch in time, is pure magic.

Doesn't that seem pretty heavy? 7lbs 3oz?

To my eye it’s the perfect Parker 20. Only negative it’s too nice to shoot.

Spectacular example of a small bore D-grade but way too nice to take afield. Price doesn’t seem unreasonable given the configuration and condition.
