I remember hearing somewhere about a gun owned by Christy Mathewson...

I have a 20 bore DHE that I purchased at auction from Holt's in England. The initial plate bears the name "S.D. McGraw" who I believe was associated with either the Giants or the Yankees. It was made in 1925.
Best Regards, George

Christy’s gun showed up at the Southern a few years ago. If I remember correctly when it was discovered it was in pretty bad shape and had the stock broken in two. A new stock was made for the gun and a complete resto was performed. It was a C grade and of course very nice. The fella who bought was I believe the Georgia state sporting clays champion. I spent a couple hours with him watching people shoot the 5 stand and admiring his gun.

Two Parkers owned by Honus Wagner have been shopped around for a few years.
