Checkered triggers ?

[6pt-Sika]

I just received an 1889 DH . The triggers are checkered was that typical on D grades and higher ?

The checkering on the triggers of a D grade would likely be a special order request.

I realize it might be a bit difficult to tell but does that “appear” to be factory checkering ?

The fact that the engraved knurling has a border would seem to be a factory job. Order a letter from Chuck - the answer might be in factory records.

I was hoping that border was a positive indication

I already had my CC out to send for the letter when I read your post to be honest LOL's !

Craig, the stock does not appear to have drop points. Maybe it's just the angle, or my eyes, but it might be a hint the gun has been on a bench in it's past.

[Dean Romig]

It has been restocked judging by the lack of drop points and the wrong checkering.

Along with crude inletting and poor checkering. For sure edgar.

[Dean Romig]

But I’ll bet Craig was well aware of the stock issues when he asked about the triggers. But again, he should get a letter if he wants to pursue this gun.

For sure. I feel the triggers are original. And, of course, unrelated to the stock.
