Reports that all his guns and trophies were lost in a fire in 1956, the year before his death. Could his Parker be out there?

1898 GAH used a L.C. Smith and killed only 15 birds at 26 yds.

1899 GAH using a Francotte killing 22 at 28 yds.

Did not participate in the 1900 or 1901 GAH at Live Birds

I've never seen a Parker ad in Sporting Life mentioning Coleman
