Default Parker DHE 20
It really difficult to beat a nice original DHE 20. Especially from around 1910 time frame. This is a straight stock, splinter, double trigger gun with 28” barrels choked C/M. About perfect for the uplands!

Reggie, I was admiring that beauty on your other thread. VERY sweet little Parker!

Reggie: Not about perfect..... absolutely, drop dead, slam dunk perfect. Those are bird killing chokes over broke pointing dogs. Hunt hard....

Nice hunting configuration for sure with good engraving, and the screws look perfect which compliments the package. I wouldn't expect anything less from you Reggie. It's time for you to submit a home page photo

Agree with Bruce, C/M is a wonderful choke combo. I have a VH 20 and DHE 16 with that configuration. If ordering a new gun today with fixed chokes, that is what I would order.

That is just about perfect. I have the same combo but in a pistol grip. A CHE 20 makes up for it though.
My perfect upland gun is........the next one
