Me too, with double triggers.

Here's a 00 DHE 3 barrel 28/28/410:

Kenny, buyer's premium or not, $11,000 is not the place to give up on a $35,000 shotgun.

Bill, as I previously stated, Paul Dorsa had the gun for sale on his table in Vegas. He had it tagged at $25K, but told me, with a smile on his face, that that price was negotiable.

I believe I still have his card with contact info. PM me if you'd like his phone number. :)

Here are pics of the BHE 0000-frame .410 that Kenny bid on. (This is not the topic-of-this-thread Paul Dorsa BHE/DHE engraved gun).

Here it is . . . beyond rare . . . the very subject of this thread . . . a 0000-Frame .410 BHE with DHE engraving. (Notice it has a BHE-style engraved toplever, but no barrel wedge engraving--I must have mis-remembered that it was sans the barrel wedge when I first saw it in Vegas--over excitement and bewilderment you know!). Now for sale with Steve Barnett:

The BHE 410 is on gunsinternational now at $27,500.The item number is 100530527.It is a great looking gun.It looks like a prototype to me.They did a good job of blending DHE and BHE.A possible one of a kind.

I'm a bit surprised Barnett has it's listed weight as being 5 lbs. 15 oz., a 28-ga. 00-Frame Repro will typically weigh less than that.

I'm curious as to why a B grade gun would be engraved as a D grade. It defeats the purpose of buying a B grade.

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I read somewhere that the dimension between firing pin centers of the 0000-frame and the 000-frame are exactly the same and the only thing that makes it a "0000-frame" is the number of zeros stamped on the lug.

Greg Baehman 02-18-2015 05:57 PM

I'll take a crack at that one Dean . . . I, too; have read the pin separation is the same on both the 000-frame Parkers and the 0000-frame Parker Reproductions, but I believe there are a couple more dissimilarities than just the frame size stamping on the barrel lugs. Now, I have not had the opportunity to actually measure any of these frames, but from viewing them the 0000-frame Repro barrels appear more "internal" to the frame compared to the 000-frame guns. In addition, the 0000-frame doesn't have the step-down in the barrels as does the 000-frame Parker guns.
