Oh to walk into the flagship Marshall Field's store in downtown Chicago and walk out with a DHE. Those were the days...

Ha, yeah with inflation though it actually works out to about what you’d pay today for a reproduction DHE 28.

That’s the first thing I thought, walking into a department store in downtown Chicago and walking out with a firearm.. Times have changed.

I have a GHE 16 two barrel set that was shipped to Marshall Field then to Alex Kerr's in Beverly Hills.

When I was just a youngster I bought a Weatherby Regency O/U at the local Marshall Field store. My dad had to actually buy the gun for me and he was shocked that I handed him $800 for it.

I loved that store. Everything you needed was under 1 roof. And they were always helpful.

I assume with the setter, an open field, and a 28 the game was Bobwhite. They must have flown very high back then.

The 28 is special and good for most anything that can be hunted with a pointing dog.
