Dean, and other interested parties, I got the repaired stock for the C Grade "Charleston Gun" in the mail today. I am used to $5000 restocks and this was a welcome rest. This stock was a standard "run over by a truck" and more, example. I couldn't be more pleased. The "Charleston Gun" is complete and I am eager to test fire it this weekend, this time without the brass plates taped to the sides of the broken stock. More to come.

Dean, your offer to post some more pictures of the gun will be accepted soon. Thank you so much.

Since this saga is drawing to a close, except for the pictures of the finished product, it's time to give thanks to Jack Cronkhite, who was the person who brought the parts of my great gun together. Yes, he was the hero of this project.

I hope I get this right, so here goes. The set of Titanic barrels that I bought from John Davis were not numbered to #74151, the gun pictured earlier. They were numbered to a gun owned by Noel Money, the father of Nash Buckingham's friend, "The Shootinest Gentleman" and lettered to him. I can't remember which was "Captain Money". I believe the barrels were renumbered at some time. These Parkers sure do get around.

Mr. Murph,

I am just finishing "The Best of Nash Buckingham" edited by George "Bird" Evans. Harold Money is referred to as "Captain" as well as his father Captain E. C. Money. Money the elder is referred to as the inventor of smokeless powder in this story.
