Thanks for the fore-end pics, Ron. It appears that the fore-end was left unaltered from it's G grade configuration. If you look at the hammerless pictures of the various grades you'll see that the tip iron had a raised edge beginning with the D grade, and the fore-end iron, latch and tip iron were engraved, also beginning with the D grade. Seems an odd oversight these weren't also upgraded when the action and stock were.

Edgar, from GHE SN 155, 033, a typical gun of the period.

That'll teach me to try and keep up with the big dogs. My GHE 16 is 179Kish and it's tip iron is engraved, but no raised edge.
Did you get your Colt spring?

Ron,

Could you do us all a favor and turn off the Caps? The first letter of a sentence should be captialized, the rest lower case.

Thanks much.
