The barrels were probably just reblued---maybe at the factory or elsewhere. The letter on my DHE 16 states that the gun was returned and the stock redressed and barrels rebrowned in 1910.
Someone with the book could tell us if the barrels were ordered at 28".

Thanks Bill, I agree and I would normally buy the gun either way.

My question was more about whether you could have two major pieces on the same gun in such different condition.

It also went towards the overall negotiation aspect. The seller makes another mis-statement about condition, (they had not seen the crack in the stock), it goes towards end price. Particularly so as the gun is at a local outdoor store and the price being asked is premium. It won't break my heart to walk away but it is a nice little 20 on an '0' frame.

Sweet little gun. What's the frame size again ? Thanks for sharing.

John, it might just be the lighting in the photos, but those barrels look too shiny to me to be rust blued. If that's a hot re-blue that I'm seeing, that raises a whole other set of issues.

It's a rust blue, bad lighting, but it is showroom rust blue.
