Col. H.P. Sheldon’s Parkers
I’m currently reading - for about the third or fourth time - HP Sheldon’s “Tranquility Revisited” (Derrydale Press 1940) and have read a few references to his “long-barreled twenty bore” and I’m wondering if it may have been a Parker?
I have seen the Remington IBM card on his 28 bore, 26” VHE No. 240485 dated 6-19-37 and am wondering if anyone knows of a longer barreled 20 ga. Parker having been owned by him?
Chuck...?
