DHE 16 revisited
On a post from Dec 8-9, 2011 i had posted pictures and discussion about my DHE 16 which has a straight grip, but the factory letter matches all dimensions, except the letter states a pistol grip. On your recomendations, we removed the trigger guard, and yes the serial # was stamped in the stock under the guard. The guard also was stamped on the back(as well as engraved on the front) , with no evidence of a weld or later conversion to a straight grip. I have attached the letter. Jerry Andrews, who removed the guard agrees that the checkering on the side panels, although well done, did not appear to be Parker factory. It is a very nice gun as you can see and I am trying to decide whether to start hunting with it.
