DHE "live Bird" safety delete

[Jared V.]

Chris, what year was your no safety gun made? I did not know they made them like yours and the one pictured on GB. I will try to add some pictures of my top tang tomarrow.

[Chris T.]

Made in 1909, I'll try to get a close up of mine too.

Parker frames were routinely punched for the safety. The slot was filled when "No Safety" was specified on the order.

Best, Austin

Jared, Here's a picture of the tang on my DHE. It looks flat, but is definately finished round and you can't see the edges of the filler piece in the picture but there there.

[Chris]

I'm not sure if someone removed the safety, the letter I received had no mention of deleted safety.

Chris, It looks like the safety is broken off. The sliding button is missing but the piece in the slot is still there. It's an easy fix if you know how to get the stock off, and you should be able to find one pretty easily.

I don't the gun in front of me yet. What I am told is that there is an engraved piece of metal in the slot. I will be looking for the safety pieces to have on hand to put it back to original.

Chris, Broken or not it's an easy fix, don't let it be a deal breaker.

Jared, Your gun is very similar to mine, my serial number is 152604.
