Missing Barrels DHE Trap
 

I'm looking for the 28" #1 set of barrels for my DHE trap 216201. The gun is listed in the Serialization book as TI3, capped pistol grip, 1 for options...extra barrels and 28" barrels. It is wearing a set of 32" vent rib barrels with 2 stamped on lug and beaver tail fore end. She was made in 1926 and holds a nice amount of case coloring. Have to get a letter on this one. I am still without camera so used cell phone...sorry.

A ser. No. Might help.thanks Thomas

Yes, thanks Thomas. 216201

Nice gun Bob. Good luck!

How do these trap guns get seperated from their barrels and forends? I've seen and traded a number of them.

Who knows, I can just imagine the widow asking a relative or friend to sell this shotgun and the other set of barrels are leaning in the corner of the closet or I can see the puzzled looks on their faces as they look at 1 and 1/2 shotguns on the kitchen table.... :shock:
I can only hope, as I would think the 28" barrels would have been made for Skeet or upland hunting.
The other thing I hadn't mentioned is it was built or converted from a single trigger gun as it has a L and a R on the floor plate under trigger guard, hope the letter sheds some light.

I recently sold a set of 32" DHE Titanic barrels with BTFE and twin ivories. I'm sure their story is very similar to the scenario you spoke of Bob.

I would say this gun made a few trips to Meridian. Had a question that I think Bill Murphy brought up recently an that there will be limited info on a letter after a certain date ? Here are some pictures of floor plate showing that it had a single trigger at one time...does anyone have a guess as to which one in the relation to where the left right selector was positioned...the owner must have got tired of it and had it removed. I think the stock must have been replaced when converted to a double trigger. Any speculation on LGW?

It was 1919 and later... yours being of 1926 manufacture, there will probably be minimal information on it from what I've heard.

put your request on the lost and found list.

I know of a set of Damascus DHE barrels. But not a Titanic set.
