Yes, Im glad I havent been bitten by the need for a perfect "untouched" unique configuration antique shotgun. Way too many of them are priced by the sellers looking for Great Gatsby to bail them out and they seem to sit on GB and GI for years waiting. I was looking at the "original" 24 inch CHE 20ga for 49,500. "One of a kind", and I think so what. Id like a 20ga CHE but actually 26 inch barrels look better to me and probaly perform better and now that you mention it a DHE 20 looks pretty similar and certainly a restored DHE 20 with 26 inch barrels could be had for alot less than 49,500. Im not saying that Im immune to the collector disease but it does display some pretty strange symptoms in certain people. My theory is that obsesive collector disorder "OCD" is caused by a mutated form of Mad Cow Virus.
