Evidence of original safety.

Hi Bill,
Are you saying that the 34" DHE on Guns International may have had a safety? Other than the lack of drop points on the stock, what is your opinion of this gun? Respectfully, Mark |

The gun is fine, but I would like to see a PGCA letter on the gun before passing judgement on the safety and its provenance.

It could be straight, but you can definitely see where the slot is filled in. I've never seen a real no safety gun where you could see it, even though they all were.

The 34" barrels make this gun regardless of the safety. Where are you Dr. Truitt?

None of Edwin Hedderly's smallbores were made for pigeons or competition, but all four were ordered without safeties. A-1 Specials in 20 and 16, DHEs in 16 and 28, all 32" guns, all made for hunting.

That looks correct. Mine letters shipped without a safety, the slot is milled into the tang and then filled with a small piece, and engraved over.
