On most DelGrego upgrades Robert P Runge seems to have engraved is name in the edges of the trigger plates usually well hidden but decipherable, I do not know if he signed his work as a Parker -- Remington employee. There appears to be a "P" visable along the top edge of the trigger plate in that photo, but only a photo of the trigger plate at a closer range will tell

This came from Alex Kerr's in Beverly Hills a two barrel set. The engraving is definitely a departure from the norm on a G grade.

Charlie I have a BHE 20 with factory 3 inch chambers and 32 inch barrels. I think more were made than people might think. This was one of the so called California Duck Club guns.

I agree Charlie. Though mine is not a 3" chambered gun I will be giving my DHE 32" 20 ga. "a shot" at woodies and mallards this coming season. Fortunately, I have acquired a nice sized stash of 20 ga. RST Nice Shot and Griffin & Howe bismuth for it. It's already proven itself as a dove gun extraordinaire, but now it's time to try some "bigger game".

I have a 3" 20 gauge barrel set off an A-1 Special two barrel set. However, it will never see a 3" magnum shell as long as I own her.
