Relatively local gun shop had this D grade listed on their email. I have not seen the gun in person, but for $1,500 I thought it was worth the risk #101887. Lots of drop but oh well. Will order the letter shortly. Tell me I am not crazy please

It looks like a good original example.

You see lots of D grades with checkered cheeks, my DHE 16 has them, do the knowledgeable think they were original, or added later. I don't have the eye to tell (old eye doctor joke). A lot of drop, but I wouldn't have passed it up at that price, congrats on a nice pick up.

Happy with the purchase. Any ideas on the "Wilson Pigeon Model" badge on the comb of the stock? The gun still has an auto safety. Also any thoughts on how to clean the metal on the butt? I dont plan on doing much to it other than mild cleaning. Would like to shoot some geese with it this winter if I can find some #4s that would be appropriate.
