I would be the winning bidder... I am hoping the gun comes in as advertised. The barrels certainly look to have been redone but I see no evidence of the tell tale holes in the bottom rib that indicate a hot blue job. Engraving at the breech end and top rib lettering also look good and not buffed out. Realizing that there just aren't that many DHE's with a safety delete option especially from the pre trap gun era, I thought I'd take a chance on it. I believe that there is a letter available and it will be an interesting one to read.
Someone else's cost many times has little to do with actual value, and priced at about what a nice used Repro 12 guage is going for I am certainly OK with my final bid price if the gun is as advertised. I will keeep you updated when it is in my hands.
