DHE 34" 163985
I ran into 163985 on gun show set up day today, it left the factory as a 12 ga #2 frame 34" DHE straight grip with no safety. The butt was checkered with no plate, forearm is splinter. Barrels had been re-blacked tastefully, bores were rust free with one light dent. Wood was free of cracks and original. forearm iron had trace case color but the receiver was blued. It was not polished, the engraving was crisp and screws fairly clean. It was in a leather bound 34" case that may have been original with some accessories. What to do..... what to do...the guy was asking $4400 and that seemed not too bad??? If it was a DHE 30" I would not be thinking about it at this late hour but 34"??????
