Other than true late skeet guns, which are mostly V's, mine may be the only DHE 20 with checkered butt.
Regarding Scott's new gun, I know this was bought through a private sale and not on the open market. Highly desirable small bore Parkers seldom reach the market and are often sold privately by word of mouth. |

I know of another DHE 20 with a factory checkered butt and there are probably more. Generally, the only entry in the books that might refer to this feature would be a notation such as "no butt" or something along those lines. Some may not have any notation at all about it though it may still be a 'factory' checkered butt.
I know of a CHE 20 with 30" damascus barrels with a straight grip, checkered butt and no safety that was sent to Canada. |

The Billy Mitchell CHE has a checkered butt from the factory. It is an unusual special order gun with #1 frame, 28" Acme barrels,straight grip, and the mentioned checkered butt.

What is the "Billy Mitchell" CHE? A gun once owned by Mitchell?

The question was about D 20's with checkered butt. I knew of one, and the owner of the other and I have talked on the telephone. It sounds like a great gun and he is hopeful he will be able to show it at the Southern. It was sent back to be restocked with straight grip and checkered butt. So now I know of two.
There are several other guns with checkered butts, including Gen. Billy Mitchell's C 12. |

Kevin McCormack once owned a nice 30" DHE or DH 20 with checkered butt. I can't remember whether Kevin pronounced it original or not. It was a very nicely preserved white gun.

The butt of Scott's D where the circular lightening holes can be seen.
