3 Frame 32" BHE - Blooded

[Mark Kircher]

I was very fortunate to acquire from a friend, #200784 a 1922 BHE 32” F/F pistol grip splinter DT on the coveted (for myself and many other waterfowl enthusiasts) Heavy 3 frame.
Our second season opened this past Saturday in Western New York and the Vanderbilt marsh presented many opportunities. I took the BHE on my maiden voyage and blooded it properly with 2 Big Black ducks and 2 Drake mallards. – a fitting start to what I hope will be a long relationship on late season plumbed up big ducks. Kent Matrix 1 3/8 oz. 2 ¾” # 5 took them down.
I have some special (to me at least) guns, but this one ranks very near the top!
Thanks again Bob J. - I thought of you often during my hunt!

A very fitting gun! Beautiful!

Mark,
That gun looks right at home in the duck blind. Although more of an upland configuration this BHE shares the same floor plate engraving pattern.

[Dean Romig]

Very nice Mark!

The engraving on both of those B’s appears to be the work of Frederick Anschutz.

Looks like that gun found its perfect home and caretaker. What a beautiful gun!

Beautiful gun Mark, the start of many memories in the blind!

Probably the best combination in non-tox loads for big ducks over decoys. Have used lots of it and it always delivers the goods.

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to view this gun, it's a dandy IMO. Congrats Mark !

I forgot to mention - the gun is cast for a left handed shooter - Which I am - Again, I feel very fortunate our paths crossed.

And as I found out Sunday in the early light fog and light snow, the gun is hell on merganzers too.

Mark that is awesome!
