A very nice find. Who wouldn't like to have that one!?!

Before you do anything, get a research letter on that gun. You may find it was blued at the factory... probably not, but there is always the possibility.

Very unique but plate, I like it.

Heff, that is a 'checkered butt'. Sometimes found in the order books referred to as "no butt treatment" or "no butt" but later as "checked butt" or "checkered butt".

Wonderful gun Brian! Congratulations on a solid find.

And no Safety to boot! I bet it will be an interesting letter.
Nice find!

I'm a fan of 32-34" barrels, I think you found a more than fair deal. Long barrels, straight stock and safety delete are items at the top of my list of desirable criteria!

For whomever was asking, here is a 34" GHE for your consideration. Not as reasonably priced as Brian's deal, but the lesson here is to get them when you can find them!:whistle:

That price is no surprise, considering the store that has it for sale.

Dean, I only hit the "Thanks" button once, but I would hit it a few more times for your last post if it would work. By the way, I own two Parkers with blued receivers and have no plans to change them.

Wow good catch Dean, I should have looked closer last nite or at least put my glasses on. I like it even more now!

I have a GHE with a checkered butt, so I should have known better.
