A bit more nit-picking -

It would be nice if we could see a top view of the comb.
It has been my experience that we (normally) only see that kind of fluting of the comb nose on Parkers made with the ‘Trap Comb’ and it would be difficult to explain it otherwise.

This is a consignment gun and belongs to a very knowledgeable collector of high condition original guns by the major American companies. IMHO the gun is correct and the nit picking is from someone who probably couldn't/wouldn't spend that kind of cash.

This along with the CHE was on Steve's table at the Southern.

I have seen and held this gun and it is an outstanding example of a DHE 20!
The cosignor personally told me the only reason he was selling the gun was that
he had another slightly better ( if you can imagine that ) otherwise the gun would not be for sale.. the same for the CHE 20 that Steve recently sold. I saw both guns and if my "retirement budget" had allowed they would already found a home.
