Just For The Record
 

For anyone still interested, I finally have the official details on the BHE - from a PGCA Research Letter.

BHE hammerless
12-gauge
Optional single trigger
Trap forend
Ventilated rib
Acme steel
32-inch barrels
2 5/8" chambers
Capped pistol grip
Length of pull - 14 1/2"
Drop at comb - 1 5/8"
Drop at heel - 2 1/4"
Weight - 7 pounds, 15 ounces
Completed - January, 1927
Pricing - $313, plus $24 (trap forend), $39 (ventilated rib)

I hope that corrects all of the discussions to-date.

And just one more question: The PGCA web page discusses "Repair Codes", and I was wondering if there is somewhere I should look to see if I have any of those.

Thanks again for all of your help, advice, and suggestions. It's been a great learning experience.

It states on that web page that they are located thus: "Stamped on Left hand, top rear of barrel". Look for two or three letters stamped there. My experience is that they are not all that common, so don't be surprised if the gun doesn't have any.
