It is not a DH as a DH would indicate a Grade 3 hammerless gun.
What you have is, at best, a Grade 2 (as the checkering on the forend indicates a Grade 2) Lifter Action hammer gun. The serial number is among those thousands missing from the serialization book. A PGCA Research Letter may give the grade of the gun.
