I have a wonderful cut 26" DHE, single trigger, beavertail, 207,000 series 12 gauge. The bores were enlarged to about .745 so some choke could be put back. Herschel advertised the gun as an original skeet gun. My friend was the station chief for we can guess who in Kabul at the time. He received the gun by diplomatic mail and immediately contacted HC to bring to his attention that it was nobody's skeet gun. I bought the gun years later along with a ream of letters back and forth, HC refusing to take the gun back. I also have the original ad and correspondence. He did offer to let my friend pick another gun, from Kabul. I promised myself I wouldn't tell this story until Herschel was dead. He's dead and I'm telling the story.
