It was reported that all BHE grade Repros were built as 2-bbl. sets. Some buyers of BHEs only wanted one set of barrels, so there were some BHE barrels left over which Parker Reproductions then added to DHE grade guns.
A friend of mine had a 12-ga. DHE 2-bbl. set with both sets of barrels BHE grade, the serial numbers on the frame and barrels of his gun all matched.
Donovan, did you buy your gun new with the mismatched barrels? If not, could the mismatched BHE barrels been added by a previous owner?
