I've also read about manufacturer upgrades and .410 model on 28 bodies. Any assistance is appreciated. I can post pics if requested. Think i have a gem here but looking to this wonderful audience for guidance.

Thank you,


(I added a couple pics; and yes i know tile is not the ideal background. It was handled with the utmost care.)

Bill,
The serial # on the barrels in your picture is 239065. This serial # is for a BHE 28 gauge with 28" barrels and a single trigger. I don' t know if the beavertail forend wood is legit but the rest look correct. NICE GUN!!

Patrick.

Yup, a very nice gun. The forend carving is identical to my AHE Trap, so I expect that the beavertail forend on this gun is original. A PGCA letter may prove all features to be original.

The forend may look small in relation to the long barrels. Great gun.
