GHE help

[J.B. Books]

I believe the gun is for sale at well known dealer as they are advertising a restored GHE stamped skeet in and skeet out serial number beginning 216. The dealer states the gun "appears to be DelGrego work". I strongly suspect the skeet in and skeet out stampings were added as part of the restoration.

Mike:
The TPS page 411 quotes, "no gun with a skeet confirguration was found before serial number 232262, made in 1929".
The stamping on the barrels, skeet in and out, don't look like factory standard markings.

The gun appears to be a DelGrego restoration with DelGrego applied skeet in and skeet out stampings.

Bill: Do you think the case colors are DelGrego's work?

Best Regards, George

[Bill Murphy]

Yes.

By the way, The Lovely Linda owns a DHE in the 207,000 range that a famous Texas dealer swore was a factory skeet gun. He refused to give the dissatisfied buyer a refund, offering only to take it in trade on another purchase.

One wonders how a dealer who knows better could perpetrate such shenanigans
