Pleasant surprise! DH and GHE
Went to pick up the DH I'd discussed in the ealier thread, barrels are good inside, marked TWIST and have a good deal of pattern. The skeleton plate is correct, 30 inch barrels, serial # is 66845. No cracks in the wood at all, but the forend is not checkered. It honestly doesn't appear to ever have been checkered. The wood is not below the metal, no visible signs of sanding or of old checkering. The buttstock is checkered. Would this have been possible?
The other gun I bought is a GH, turned out to be a GHE. Nice colors, and I think steel barrels but...someone stuck a rib on the gun. I don't know how they did it, I hope it's only soldered. Any ideas on this one? I'm trying to include as many pics as I can on here. Thanks for any help that might come my way on this, Jake
GHE serial number is 152757
