Default BHE questions

I received the research letter on my BHE and I would like thoughts on the present configuration verses the letter.
Here are some pictures as well as the letter description.
It now has a non auto safety and well as a single trigger.
I also wish Bob Beach was still doing records research for G&H. I would love to have letters on now 3 high end guns that they may have records on.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Not sure what trigger that is but it isn't a Parker Brothers single trigger. So I suppose someone converted the double triggers to a single trigger for a previous owner. Very nice gun though!!

That could be a Parker SST with a special order selector slide? The long trigger in the right slot and the selector in the left.

Perhaps the gun was back to Parker Bros. for a safety and the SST with a special selector slide.

Imdont recall the LOP being called out the way it is written in the letter. Are these measurements given for the different triggers positions?

I have never seen LOP noted like that in a letter either.

I suspect that is 14 1/4-inch to the center of the butt, 14 3/8-inch to the heel and 14 1/2-inch to the toe.

I interpret those LOP measurements the same as Researcher. That is a beautiful gun Phil, and thanks so much for sharing. The top lever is heavily engraved for a "B" Grade in my humble opinion. Very nice gun.
