I think Don's response here is close enough to what the judges have been looking for that they award him with the semi-prestigious
Bachelor of Repro-ology degree.
Congratulations Don!
What you've actually been trying to identify is 1 of 3 known and previously identified Parker Reproduction BHE .410s built on a 0000-frame with DHE-style engraving, the toplever, however; is engraved in the BHE-style. How do we know it's a BHE-Grade? The single bead around the bolsters and being fitted with a Repro BHE-style checkered stock tell the tale.
Now for the bonus question: What identifying characteristics and other component does this particular gun have that is not
de rigueur with standard Parker Reproduction BHE's? The correct respondent will be awarded a more prestigious advanced degree and be crowned
Master of Repro-ology!
Hint: The bonus question can be correctly answered by looking at the top view of this gun.
