Interesting Engraving
 

I saw this DHE 16 gage on GI and don't recall this pattern on any D grade I had ever seen before.

i like that one, and ducks on a 16 :bowdown:

Neither have I Larry. Nice rendition of ducks as opposed to the flying turnips.

There was a D grade 16 for sale at the Southern that had a duck on each side that was very interesting. I cannot recall what was on the floor plate. Maybe Brian will see this and can chime in and remind me what that was. It was a very interesting gun. 32" barrels also. I like this engraving. Thanks for posting it.

Looks like Remington era engraving, possibly by Runge, is it?

That is a different one Larry! Special for sure.

Yes, Randy. There is a guy out there selling a DHE 16g with 32” barrels. 1 frame. Straight grip, no safety. The gun has quail on the bottom and a duck on each side. One flying and one in the water. An odd one for sure.

Yes Dean, Remington era. Runge, don't know that one.

That gun was for sale at Baltimore. Unique engraving and high price.

I knew that was not the same one but I couldn't remember what was on the floor plate. Figured you would.... Thanks.

I got a peek of another high condition DHE 16 with a duck on the trigger plate at Chuck Brunner's. The Tents of Temptation.

Yeah, the gun is great. Not sure about the price tag. I am sure it can be worked on. Gotta start somewhere.

Does anyone know who had the 16ga. DHE with 32" barrels and straight stock? Please send me a PM if you do.

Pm sent.
