Steve, I looked up your serial number again and it shows that your gun does not have ejectors book has been wrong before, so you might double check. The E on DHE stands for ejectors.

Thanks for the welcome and all the replies---I will be joining the PGCA.

I've attached a few more photos; I think it is an "E", unless extractor and ejector mean something separate. Also the is an oval metal shield along the bottom of the stock. Thanks again for all your input.

It's a DH rather than a DHE. Ejectors will kick the empties out of the gun and throw them over your shoulder. Extractors pull the empties out so you can remove them with your fingers. A very nice gun, but the lack of ejectors lowers the anticipated value significantly over an ejector equipped gun all things being equal.

I wish I inherited or would inherit such a nice gun! Congrats.
