I also have a DH, Pennsylvania pigeon gun, built as a 30" solid rib gun, Parker later added a vent rib to the 30", an added set of solid rib 32" Parker Special Steel barrels that appear factory installed. It also has an early Miller trigger. To add to the confusion, Shelly Gitman gave me a set of 26" Titanic Steel barrels bored cylinder and very full, cylinder on the left. A great Columbaire barrel, if I remember to shoot the left barrel first. A gun for all Pennsylvania seasons.
Bill, we’d really like to see some pics of those guns.

I don’t get the joke. @BillMurphy has these nice guns, however will not/can not
post pictures? Why is that? Is it a privacy concern or a technical issue? Let me in on the joke, please.

Dean, the joke is that for as long as I can remember, Bill has not posted a photo. It's just teasing that in this day in age, someone cannot post pics and that's the fun of it all

Since we are an unselfish community, I offer to assist you, if you care to. I have a great tutorial which anybody who can open a top lever is able to accomplish.

On the other hand, if this is more about privacy for you, then I understand and no response is necessary.

My GHE 16 28 inch 2 barrel set has vent ribs as does a 30 inch DHE 20 and a 32 inch GHE 16. I sold a VHE 26 inch 20 VR skeet gun several years ago.

The DHE is IIRC the earliest one I have and is from 1926
