That gun would look very nice back beside a certain DH 3 frame 12 with 28” barrels I happen to know of

I have a GHE Damascus 20 (also sold one a few years ago), CHE 20 which according to TPS is one of 8 with 26 inch Damascus barrels and a GH 20 with 30 inch Damascus barrels.

The 32" #2 frame 20 gauge barrels on my VH are marked 4-15. The barrels on my #3 frame 16 are marked 4-13, but then they are only 28" long.

Ed, the 3 in the bottom right flat is for grade 3 (DH) guns. The D4 stands for 4 blade Damascus. Teriffic gun!
