Interesting, is that your gun? I am about to order the letter for this one, It would be interesting to see if it was a dealer add on

Yes, please let us know if the Research Letter lists where the gun was originally shipped.
No hits for 'Wilson Pigeon Model' in the Sporting Life archives.
There was a Wilson and Girod Hardware Store in Van Wert, Ohio
Wilson Hdw. in Boulder, CO that sold sporting goods
R.D. Wilson Hdw. in Port Angeles, Washington
Wilson Hdw. in Rochester, N.Y.
Wilson's Store in Bethesda
Wilson Sporting Goods in Chicago never sold firearms.

I will update, once I have the letter. It came from an estate on the Eastern shore of VA. 30" full/full #2 frame. If it could only talk. I am pulling for the Bethesda address
