Thanks guys it's always nice get the approval of this bunch, especially seeing that they are "budget" guns. You're right they are a pretty close match being off the rack. The 28 is a bit lighter and pretty straight grained. Yes they are side plate guns, and hard chromed. I wish they were a little less bright, but maybe time will do that. They are hand chiseled. The two have very subtle differences in the engraving. The barrel selectors are different on them also. The CZ and the DeHaan guns that are colored are more of a "paint on" and not really cased. The .410 is really stunning in person. They both have great lines and swing nicely. They fit me very well at 14 1/2" lop even with my "monkey arms". Dehaan uses 5 different receivers in their line, so each receiver is gauge specific.
The .410 was the most important of the two. The first gun my Dad bought me was a single shot JC Higgins .410. Dad died in Oct. and as a tribute to him I bought the last gun I would get from him with part of an insurance pay out. I thought it would be fitting to have it be a .410, a nice one, and to add my own touch, it would be a double.
I'm sure he's smilin' down.
