DHE "live Bird" safety delete

[Jared V.]

I own two safety delete Parkers. One DHE 30" and one VH 32" Both letter as they are including no safety. Both top tangs are radiused and not flat as most safety guns are. It certainly could be the picture, but the top tang looks flat and the shadow of the slot is sure visable. The engraving over the filled slot looks good but I have seen restorations of this area in the past that look better than this. If it letters, I would be OK with it. Interesting gun with what looks like non standard DH engraving. I especially like the Setter on the bottom surface.

Jared, It looks correct to me, the guns with the safety delete feature did have the safety slot with a filler piece in it. The engraving is unique, I regret not buying it before because the previous seller had it listed for $3200. It was originally a straight grip stock, you can't see in these photos but the long tang has been cut short for the pistol grip stock.
