Lee, your gun reminds me of my DHE 20 which I bought at a bad gun show for $2100. It was a nice little gun, but tired, loaded up with color, short stock with modern recoil pad, beautiful nickled spoon triggers, terrible replacement forend wood, perfect bores in nice undented Titanic barrels, ugly extra finish on the stock. Fast forward a couple of weeks to another mediocre gun show where I found 2 zero frame DHE forend woods! I installed the best of the two new forend woods, stripped all wood finish, applied oil, installed a new brown No Shoc. It looks like a different gun that has never been in the field. Lucky for me, because I couldn't afford that gun now.
