A-1 Special or BHE Steel Shot Specials?

[John Allen]

The BHE I ordered was the only one with 28" improved and mod barrels with 3" chambers that I am aware of. All of the other 28" barrels were mod and full to my knowledge.I had one customer who insisted on a BHE steel shot.We finally talked Parker repro into building it.When it arrived,he did not take it.I sold it to a good customer who has since passed away.His nephew now has it.It is unfired.Also,no guns were marked "steel shot special".The Jaeger guns had SS in the serial number.

John, do you recall if that BHE with 28" bbls. choked IC/M that you had ordered for a customer and subsequently sold to another have "SS" as part of the serial number?

I recently pressed my friend and PGCA member I had mention above about the BHE barrels being marked "Steel Shot Special" and he admitted that he never actually saw them, he just assumed that they were marked that way.
