Made in Japan, these faithful reproductions are good durable guns. This particular gun is a 26" 12 gauge with I/C and Mod. choke markings. It has typical DHE repro engraving with dogs on sides and birds on bottom surrounded by classic Parker scroll work. The gun has a straight stock, double triggers, and auto ejectors. There is a small brass oval near the toe and the stock terminates with a blued and engraved skeleton steel buttplate. The splinter forend has a Deeley release and is engraved in standard DHE pattern. CONDITION: Extremely fine as partially restored, likely by Turnbull. This gun has fantastic Turnbull case colors! The barrel blue appears original and would rate at 98%. The stocks are excellent with only minor handling marks and retain nearly all of their finish, though there is some craquelure on both sides of the rear trigger. The case is very fine with some minor marks and a couple of pen marks on top and the canvas cover is very good. Bores are bright and shiny and mechanics are fine. JSL
