Rare BHE .410 4/0-frame sighting

[Bill Murphy]

Now that some generous posters have provided us with pictures of the real 0000 frame Repros, guys like Greg and Kenny will have a better understanding that you don't need a scale or calipers to identify one. They are just plumb different in outer appearance.

I had no idea that I didn't understand what I identified as a 0000-frame BHE/DHE engraved Repro was when I started this thread. Thank you for pointing that out, Bill. It just goes to show that you can learn something new here everyday!

Greg, I know this thread was hard reading, but I think the information has gotten out. I have probably handled more 0000 frame Repros than anyone but Geoffroy and the Skeuses, but have never owned one. When I saw the Mike Weatherby ad in Shotgun News a few decades ago ($16,000), I knew I never would. I wish I could have talked to Paul Dorsa before he sold his.

Although I'm not privy to it, I have a hunch that Paul Dorsa still owns the gun and has it on consignment with Steve Barnett, but I could be wrong.

Thanks for the info.

For what it's worth, Steve Barnett has a OOOO frame BHE up on his site.

News Flash for you Chris, we discussed this listing close to a month ago, starting back on pg. 6 of this thread.
