What can be done with a Repro
As most of us know, the engraving on the Repro DHEs was mostly machine cut. Some areas of the gun had hand engraving, like the top lever, the buttplate and the trigger guard. And the flat machine cut areas had a little hand embellishment here and there. For the most part, this results in the lack of dimension and detail in the engraving.
I took a Repro DHE 20g. and polished it all up and then replaced all of the major screws on the action, buttplate and guard with clean thinner slotted screws. Then I asked Mr. Gournet to completely hand embellish the engraving and add as much detail as possible to the scroll work and game scenes. I wanted the gun to look completely hand cut, and more like an original late production Parker gun from Meriden or Ilion.
See below some before and after photos which are really quite striking.
The gun will end up being bone charcoal case colored.
