Thanks Bob! Do you know what Senator? My Grandfather was a foreman on a plantation in south Georgia and all I knew was that a guest of the plantation missed three ducks in a row and threw the gun to my grandfather and said you can have this gun...I can't hit anything with it!

There you go Albert. Contact Robert at Griffin & Howe for a really top-notch research letter and to discover which senator ordered that gun. Bob gave you his contact information at the bottom of his reply.

This is some of the most fun of collecting these guns... the investigation and research we

can do and have done for a very reasonable price on the provenance of our guns.

I hang around with a lot of bad shooters yet no one has ever thrown me a gun!

What a great story! If I threw a gun away every time I missed 3 ducks in a row, I would have had an empty gun rack a long long long looooooooong time ago.....
