Bill,

I look and price British guns. The sleeving process has come a long way. The joint is practically invisible using TIG welding techniques. Usually they will use the rib from the old barrels. Even guns with an invisible joint are heavily discounted and hard to resell.

It is heavily discounted and I would be buying it as a shooter, certainly not an investment.

If you say it's engraved as a D, how many birds are on the floorplate and what is the serial number?

5 birds on the floor plate. Serial number was already checked and its a C as well according to the book. The engraving just doesn't show a lot of variation from Ds in early C guns.

That is not really a very good sleeving job from a cosmetic standpoint. Since the sleeve joint can be seen from my house.

Im sure you were disappointed to realize after purchasing.An easy way to get it out from under the bed and money back in your hand it post it for sale here. For $800 I for one would buy it as well as many others Im quite sure. Some guns are destined to be hunted with.

Here are the pics I took this morning. Unfortunately they are with cell phone as the canon is with my wife and kid.

Anyway here they are:


The longer I seem to consider this one the less inclined I seem to buy it. I haven't decided yet as I plan to take it out and shoot it, but while it may be the rare chance for me to own a CHE, I am just not feeling this gun at the moment.

That may change with a couple of RST rounds through it. We shall see.
