Now for the bad points: None of the stockwork is original to the gun and I suspect it was modified for trap shooting at some time: The beavertail forend while not original is a decent piece of work that I could like with.

Now for the truly ugly: The buttstock is a real mess as it no only was ended out but at sometime the stock apparently sported a raised cheekpiece that was later crudely removed. Additionally the safety was also removed and the slot filled in:     I would appreciate fellow members opinions as to what it's worth in it's current state and if it would be cost feasible to at least fix(butt transplant?) the buttstock?

The metal is pretty nice.
Guess it all depends if you want a DHE project or not.
It could become a money pit.
I'd be tempted to leave it as a trap gun.
A good wood guy can do wonders with the stock, and put a new trap style pad on it.
Of course, restoring the safety function also would make it very usable with non-tox as a duck gun.
Not much help, I know.... to me it's a trap gun that needs a good wood overhaul. I think that would be cost effective.

Money pit IMO. That is if you want to make it sorta right. If you just want to leave it as it is and shoot it then it all depends on what the seller wants for it. I sure wouldn't wouldn't want to pay too much for it.

I have a DHE original vent rib 32 inch gun. I use it for side by side trap and it shoots like a rifle. Mine is not listed but it was confirmed to be original by the Parker Collectors. You fail to mention two things. Is the beaver tail original with the through bolt and reinforced splinter? What's the price. If you pass please pass the info on to me. I love project guns!

The forearm while having the through bolt is not original. The metal is ok but the wood is definitely a replacement. The owner wants $3000 for it. I'd be interested in the values you gentlemen place on it.
If I buy it I will probably get a butt transplant and let it go at that.
