I have a CHE 20 with british proof marks. It was shipped from Shanghi China by Thou M Cobbs back to Parker for a stock repair. I wrote about this gun in the latest edition of PP. How it originally got to either England or China is a mystery still.

I also have a GHE 16 trap/skeet with all the options and enhanced engraveing. this was at the end of production and the gun was shipped from Marshall Field to Alex Kerr's of Hollywood for a Major General William Bradford. He was instrumentsal in the atomic bombing of Japan and there is a golf course named for him at the base in AZ (if memory serves) where he was stationed. This is the "Hollywood" gun I use for Sporting Clays.
