Apparently my gun and those like it are a non-catalogued special gun (not special ordered) made for people who wanted an open bored gun with longer than 26" barrels. I don't know whether they were made in one batch or with random serial numbers. I do know that they are very scarce and fill a void in catalog offerings.

Bill, your 12ga. DHE Repro w/28” bbls., choked IC/M was a standard offering. Several years ago shooting in our Central Wisconsin Winter Skeet League I was part of a 5-man squad, four on our squad were shooting all non-SSS marked 12ga. Repros w/28” bbls., factory choked IC/M and I was shooting a Sporting Clays Classic. They maybe scarce, but they’re plentiful around here — and I’ve seen several others listed through the years.
