Bingo! Bruce is right it is in Baer,but I also think that "Forest & Stream" might have first carried the "purloined" Invincible story first at the time it happened.Might be "Field & Stream" now that I think about it. I still have some bound copies of both circa 1911 to early 1930's when Field and Stream took over from Forest and Stream.

I sure would like to hear an early account of the "lost Invincible". Of course, Peter Johnson described the gun as "lost" when it actually was safe and sound about ten miles from where I am right now. It remained "lost" for a couple of decades after the Johnson book was published when it was still safe and sound in the hands of a couple of trapshooter/Parker collector types. It was finally outed by Tony Galazan.
