Default Am I blind or is this DH actually a GH?

The boys over at wildwood have this gun for sale as a DH, but when looking at it on the floor plate and the sideplates, the engraving from what I can tell looks like a GH more then a DH.

It definitely looks to have birds on the sides and I don't see the scroll work engraving that is on a D.

Looks to be a GH. Must be a type-o

It's a GH. And a restocked one at that. Cheek panels are way to defined. And a proper guard was not used when converted to a straight grip.

Yeah they said the stock wasn't original. But they did say it was a DH.

Wasn't planning on buying, just surprised to see misidentified.

There are a lot of Trojans out there with Vulcan Steel barrels and visa versa. Also a lot of "E" labeled guns with extractors.

I rather suspect it's a typo, as Craig and Dick have been around for a long time, and certainly know Parkers. I'm sure if they thought it was a grade 3, they would have priced it as a grade 3.

That is why it surprised me. They are generally spoke of as being knowledgeable.

I figured the price was because they said it is a non parker stock. If it is a GH with an aftermarket stock I would expect it to be under 1000.

Yeah, the're nice guys. I haven't seen a gun on their website for 15 years that I had interest in. The guns are bad and the prices are worse. However, we have to remember to buy the gun not the dealer.
