I’ve had a lifter or two and a top lever or two that were straight , none of them higher than Grade 2 . And at the moment I have four all hammerless two DHE and two VHE . But it’s also worth noting the VHE guns are both skeet guns and from what looking I’ve done in the serialization book , it appears (to me atleast) that a high percentage of actual skeet guns were in fact straight grip . I’m most likely incorrect but it seemed that way to me .

Craig, I think you are correct on the skeet guns, as that is/was a pretty standard configuration -- case in point, the later Fox skeet guns.
