Anyone ever hear of a competitive Parker Pigeon shooter named "E. Edwards?" I believe he was from Nebraska. Or at least his Parker was shipped there.

He was quite particular in the high grade Parker that he ordered...

What year did he order the gun? That would help to locate him.

Barrels are 30" long and it does indeed have the original forend which was absent from the photos. Forend is in the same condition as the rest of the gun.

Originally ordered with no safety. "Extra fat stock" "Extra long trigger guard tang" and trigger pulls of 3lbs and 3.5lbs.

Indianola is out west on the North Platte. Lots of ducks. Not many people out there and there are probably records of Edwards out there, if a fellow wanted to pack a certain A grade and come out to throw some shot in the air.

Ed Edzards, Bruning, Nebraska. E.D.Edgards, Bruning, Nebraska. Probably the same person, listed in ATA average books of 1918 and 1922. Maybe more listings later. Well, not later, but in 1920, he was E. Edwards of Bruning, Nebraska. All three were probably the same person. Josh, you knew I could do it. It just takes time.
