The order book entry for these guns does not show the grade. It only shows the price and the type of barrel steel. The people posting the information into the computer could easily mistake a C for a D. The stock books, the vehicle usually used for data entry, can be just as confusing. A CH 16 would be well worth restoring if it is broken. If you are not interested in this gun, send the contact info to me. I love guns that cost me more than they are worth.

:whistle:You're not alone in that, Bill.

My name is Mark and I am a Parkerholic... :)

maybe i can get some pictures up by the middle of next week. i found it in a pawn shop about 150 miles from where i live while i was on a business trip, so im waiting to get the chance to get back up there and give it another look over before i buy it. i need to double check myself and be sure its a ch grade and not a dh cause i dont think i want to give 2500 for a dh but if anything changes and i dont buy it i will let every one here know where to find it if they want it.
