But none of those pictures are of the 1/2 frame. That looks like the Haythe skeet gun, the subject of my article "The Christmas Present". The last photo is the brass plate from my dad's two barrel late Remington 16 VH. Damn you take good pictures.

The Haythe skeet gun is probably unfired except for the factory testing. It was picked up in NYC for a gift to a son who wasn't a shooter- he was a sailor.

My 1/2 frame guns don't look like that. Oh, well.

I don't know which of my 1/2 frames I like more, the great little DHE with the 00 frame stock and outstanding wood figure, a gun put together from parts, or Forrest's VHE which is very similar with leather covered pad, also a lightweight and all original. The back end of the DHE was purchased with a forend and no barrels. The barrels were purchased separately and clicked right on. The 16 gauge barrels and forend were also purchased separately and fit and work great. What a gun. Where else can you find a 12-16 combo that has 28" barrels, ejectors, Parker selective single trigger, skeleton butt, 00 size, and weighs 6 1/2 pounds.
