long wait

[Bill Zachow]

I just cannot believe it took Parker Bros. 8 months to produce and ship those two lower grade guns. Is it possible that the record copies are confusing or unreadable? It just does not make any sense.

Not sure about the letter on Scott's gun, but I had to get my letter corrected and Chuck looked at the order book pretty carefully.
It's not unusual for larger hardware and sporting goods companies to place large orders ahead of the hunting season. These orders would likely be shipped in bulk, rather than piecemeal.

Edgar nailed it. Some of these orders are multiple page orders, 30 to 40 guns per page. Some orders say to hold all shipments till the order is filled, some are sent out in groups with different ship dates. Can't say specifically with Scott's gun without looking up the order.
