Thank you, Dean!

I was hoping the engraving was done by the son. I met him way back in the 1979 when I went to "The Arms" to train on the bench with the gunsmiths before heading out to Field Sales. He was in the Custom Shop one of the days I was there. I also saw him at DelGrego's in 1987 at their old shop. Very nice man.

I don’t get the joke. @BillMurphy has these nice guns, however will not/can not
post pictures? Why is that? Is it a privacy concern or a technical issue? Let me in on the joke, please.

Dean, the joke is that for as long as I can remember, Bill has not posted a photo. It's just teasing that in this day in age, someone cannot post pics and that's the fun of it all

Since we are an unselfish community, I offer to assist you, if you care to. I have a great tutorial which anybody who can open a top lever is able to accomplish.

On the other hand, if this is more about privacy for you, then I understand and no response is necessary.

My GHE 16 28 inch 2 barrel set has vent ribs as does a 30 inch DHE 20 and a 32 inch GHE 16. I sold a VHE 26 inch 20 VR skeet gun several years ago.

The DHE is IIRC the earliest one I have and is from 1926
