Mine is an 1887 Grade 3 hammer on a 1 frame with 28” Damascus cyl/cyl. All original per PGCA letter. In family since new.

Gorgeous. What a treasure.

Worry not Andy; we're here for you!!

I would sure like a GHE #1 frame 12 ga with 26" or 28" barrels. Straight stock would be even better....

was offered a 1 frame PH 12 with fishtail top lever and twist barrels several years ago. Should have bought it, but passed, cant remember the weight, but felt great.

A loong time ago I bought a refinished GH 12 on the 1-frame with 30” Damascus barrels and a fishtail lever. I shot it in the qualifying rounds for the PGCA/LCSCA Challenge cup and broke 18. I shot it at my club pretty often too but one night coming home from my club and going up the brick walkway to my house in the dark I tripped over a toy my grandson had left there. It got some damage but nothing that can’t be fixed… but I have not had it repaired. It sits in the back of my safe to this day…

Bruce I could get you close if it were for sale. GHE 12 with 28" barrels, 1 frame, 7 lbs. even. Barrels are to short for me but the condition attracted me. I did shoot a few pheasants with it last year.

"...if it were for sale.." What a tease :rotf::rotf::rotf:

Here's a unique 12ga 1 frame GH made in 1899 with 28 inch Damascus barrels, it now has 26 inch Remington 1/2 frame barrels and weights 6lb 11.6 oz.

That is pretty cool. A 1/2 frame GHE is on my list for someday
