It was a Tryon gun that never got farther from the Tryon store than the shore of the Susquehanna River, near where I found it. Some of these big guns never got far from their original place of purchase.
I got the letter from the Chuckster a few days before the auction . Well as I can remmember the gun initially went to Kansas City . Wasn't any mention about much else if my memory serves .
