A DHE 16 with straight grip was for sale about ten years ago along with letters back and forth between the owner and Dwight D. Eisenhower, a picture of Ike with the gun on a grouse hunt in NH, and Peter Johnson's book inscribed by Ike to the owner. I missed it by minutes.... $3,300... I asked the seller who bought it and he told me he would put the buyer in touch with me. The guy called the next day and told me he flipped it to Riley's gun shop in Hooksett, NH. I immediately drove to Riley's, examined the gun and asked about the letters, picture and book.... I was told by them that the guy who brought the gun in didn't bring anything else with it... The gun was for sale for $7K
Greed (and ignorance in this case) indeed!
