I'm still searching for 31736 the CE-HE with duck engraving, my holy grail. 32046 also is a CE-HE with duck engraving and I did discover the gun two years ago, unfortunately it had been poorly restocked and the gun was not for sale. I would have passed anyway.
A very nice high condition F 12ga was offered to me recently, unfortunately I don't play in that high dollar sand box. But it would have fit me to a T. Can always dream.

How about a 20-bore Wildfowl? (I know I'm really reaching)

I am working on an article about the 20ga Super Foxs, one tidbit there is more than the one C-HE 20 SF listed than McIntosh's book. A C-HE 20ga would be a holy grail in my opinion.

As light as the "Hal Howard" gun card lists it, it can't be on the HE-frame. It has to be on the regular smallbore frame.

Beyond the engraving pattern I've always been a little dubious of 20 bore Supers built on the regular 20-gauge frame. Proof of the Super pudding IMO are the chamber and bore dimensions and choke profiles.
