The very first thing that stuck out when I looked at it online was that comb nose Edgar. It looked a little different to me, but then looking at as many images as I could find of GH's on line, I did find some like that but couldn't tell if they were later guns or not. Yes, buying does come with training wheels...you guys. If I just bought things without asking and reading I think I'd be making a ton of mistakes (or more than I am). Which reminds me to say thank you to everyone.

Andy,
It looks to me as if a new forearm was made at the same time from the same blank. A very nice job and beautiful wood. I would be proud to own and shoot it. The forearm latch and tip being blued would not be a killer for me as they can wear and age gracefully with use or be toned down. |

Andy, if you like it, buy it. It’s a darn nice shooter! Enjoy it.

Plus over serial number 200000 means it has the improved top lever coil spring encased in a tube which even if it breaks continues to work and the one piece sear springs which are an improvement over the older two piece ones.
I'm betting new wood like that today would cost you far more than the asking price which I don't know. |

I inquired about a custom stock once Jerry from an upstate ny maker. You’re more than correct. I couldn’t get this wood made for what I paid.

Andy:
I am also a user of the gun I buy. I want them to be close to right if not right and this gun would seem to be there. Buy it, shoot it and enjoy it. Its a great looking gun.

Your gun was made in Meriden, and the difference between the combs of Meriden guns, and Remington Ilion is what you noticed. To my mind's eye, the Meriden comb was more graceful. I do not believe Ilion butt plates had a widows peak, but Brian is the expert in that dept. If you look at Parker Reproductions, you'll see they have the Remington styled comb |
