Very interesting blurb on that CHE Double Trap.
There were only 3 known to have been made with those features especially the 30” barrels. When mine turned up in 2003 it became the 4th known (230760) in that configuration. I sold mine in 2007 for exactly 10x the asking price in this 1968 ad.

It is a lot easier for me to come up with $8500 today than it would have been to come up with $850 in 1968. In early 1972 I got a $500 signature loan at the credit union to buy a gun.

That "Parker Special Steel" marking is really nice. I don't know what else to say except that we would like to see some pictures of the rest of the gun, monobloc line, barrel flat, serial number. Is it really Damascus?
