L. Jordan Chicago gunsmith?
Gentlemen:
After some years away from this forum, I've returned with great appreciation for its quality and civility.
That said, I wonder if any members have information on a gunsmith/barrelmaker named "L. Jordan" who was based in Chicago - probably between 1900 and 1950 some time.
I ask because I've just acquired a GH Parker that I believe he re-barreled in high-grade Damascus (English, I believe). The workmanship and fit are worthy of the finest London or Continental makers. The top rib of these 26-inch barrel is engraved "L. Jordan Chicago." That's it. No other markings.
I'd sure like to know more about this fellow if he was the craftsman responsible.
Best, Kensal
