This one has a damaged stock and it had been at a gunsmith for two years. They had not started on it. Well, I was tired of waiting and wanted to get it back. Stock is taped up, so it can be shot. I had a great time shooting it Saturday. No. 3 frame, 32" barrels, 10 gauge, but it handles very well and does not feel as massive as it is. I got some photos of the SSBP and the forend. Note the forend has the later latch, but has the old style forend tip. Has anyone seen another like this? Wondering if this gun is eligible for Parkers found due to the special ordered features?

It's interesting they made him pay extra for the new patent forend. It's also interesting they charged him for most of the repair work when so many letters show repair work on new-ish guns being done for free.

When did the new patent forend first appear? This appears to be a transitional gun.

I have a Damascus GHE 12 gauge with skeleton butt, mentioned in order book. Also mentioned was the English Walnut stock and forend. When I was a pup, a local shooter used a GHE 12 gauge skeet with a skeleton buttplate. I have lost track of that one.
