Hard to tell from the pictures but the dolls head appears to sit low and not flush with the action. I am pretty sure the barrels were reblued. Very nice engraving it appears the double dogs are done in semi relief. The serialization book calls out D6 so the barrels must be a replacement. Your letter may shed some light but with the dolls head sitting low I would suspect it is not factory work Craig

The blueing looks like it was done at Ilion. Maybe the barrels were replaced by Remington.
I would sure like to see more pictures before commiting to it... or make sure you get a three-day, no questions asked, return option. Nice looking gun in any case. .

Thanks for the insight Craig, Steve Barnett has a similar AHE for sale that has been refinished for quite a bit less. I am intrigues by the above gun as it is at my local shop, but I want to make sure that I am making a sound decision.

Here is the Barnett offering: https://stevebarnettfineguns.com/par...che-12-gauge-1
They are allowing me to get the letter prior to closing the transaction. I have dealt with this shop for over twenty years, so they are happy to work with me on this. |

See if the letter mentions the pad vs skeleton butt.
