Maybe not as unusual as I thought! Tom, that is definitely a unique pair of GHE's, how did you happen upon the second one?

My 24" 16 Damascus GHE was unusual enough until the seller contacted me a couple years into my ownership and told me he had found the 28" and 30" barrels and forends that had become separated from the gun. There are some neat G Grades out there.

Believe it or not, Chris, I stumbled on the second at a local gun show, not 10 miles from home. I thought it was a connector to the one I had at home (not many GHE 24" guns to start with), but wasn't 100% sure. I drove home 100 mph to check and sure enough... so I drove back 150 mph, picked up a friend on the way to make sure my eyes were screwed in right, and brokered the deal. Both guns were bought 10 years apart and both within 40 miles of my house. It'll probably never, ever happen again, but it sure is fun to look!

Three of my "reunited" lost barrels to guns were either started or completed at gun shows including the three barrel set and two two barrel sets. Another reunited barrel to gun was found for me by Gary Carmichael at a gun show. He placed the barrels on the lost and found subforum and I found them there. That is six sets of barrels found at gun shows to complete four guns.

Default Unique GHE

This is my Unique GHE 12 gauge. It has single trigger, ejectors and two sets of Vent Rib barrels each with it's own Beavertail forend!
Barrels are 26 inch (Mod)+(FULL) and 30 inch (FULL)+(FULL)

The stock has field dimensions, the gun was made in 1928 no letter available.
I do not think there were many two barrel vent rib sets in any grade.

Really, really nice Scott. They certainly are unique and the G's are becoming my favorite grade. Enjoy!

Scott I have a GHE 16 on a #1 frame with two sets of vent rib bbls also. The gun letters as a skeet/trap set with BTF for both sets of bbls, straight stock and SST.

Nice Gun! I would like to think mine was ordered for Skeet and Trap but there is no letter available. The serial number puts it around 1928. If you read the Skeet rule book from 1929 the ideal gun for a man to use at Skeet is his ideal field piece.

Got any pictures of your 16?
