What if?… A repro CHE

[Brian Dudley]

Ever wondered what it would look like if they made a Repro CHE? Well so did I. Here is a 28g Repro DHE upgraded to a true CHE in the original factory style. With the only exception being double setters on both sides of the frame by request of the client. Engraving by Gournet of course. Case colors by Turnbull. Stocked in circassian walnut to the customers dimensions. The buttplate was scratch made in order to be more appropriately sized for the gun. The gun was originally a beavertail double trigger gun. And it still is.
Many thanks to a great client who agreed to let me entertain my ideas on upgrading this gun when I asked, what if…?

[Paul D Narlesky]

Brian what a great job you did on the CHE project…It is very tastefully done. I like it better than most of the Repro A-1 guns that have seen. Again, great Job !

[Harry Gietler]

Nice Gun Brian, Is there any body else besides Me that would like to
know the ''TOTAL Cost'' of the upgrade plus the cost of the DHE.
So, how much is it? I am sure there are a few guys who would like to
Up Grade their DHE.

[Bob Hayes]

Brian awesome job.
Is the floor plate a snipe or a woodcock?

I have never and will never discuss pricing for work on an open forum. If any people are actually seriously interested in having work done, they know how to contact me.

Looks like a woodcock to me

[Bob Hayes]

I'm thinking snipe from the looks of the bird and the scene/vegetation.

[Brian Dudley]

The request was a woodcock.

At least I did not get a seagul.

[Tom Jay]

I think you only find snipe engravings on semi-autos and pumps

[Bob Hayes]

I like the gun and would love to own it.
I know of a lot of snipe this season that wish they never saw or heard of a sxs and o/u this season.Lots of birds this year.

[Kevin McCormack]

Some of the higher end Italian SxSs and O/Us have beautiful renditions of snipe - 687EELL Berettas, Caesar Guerini, Famars, Piottis and Bosis come to mind.

[Brian Dudley]

And it is already out with its owner taking birds.

[John Dallas]

Don't get blood on it!

[Mike Franzen]

My favorite repro of them all I have seen.

[allen newell]

[Stephen Hodges]
