Dean, and other interested parties, I got the repaired stock for the C Grade "Charleston Gun" in the mail today. I am used to $5000 restocks and this was a welcome rest. This stock was a standard "run over by a truck" and more, example. I couldn't be more pleased. The "Charleston Gun" is complete and I am eager to test fire it this weekend, this time without the brass plates taped to the sides of the broken stock. More to come.

Since this saga is drawing to a close, except for the pictures of the finished product, it's time to give thanks to Jack Cronkhite, who was the person who brought the parts of my great gun together. Yes, he was the hero of this project.

I hope I get this right, so here goes. The set of Titanic barrels that I bought from John Davis were not numbered to #74151, the gun pictured earlier. They were numbered to a gun owned by Noel Money, the father of Nash Buckingham's friend, "The Shootinest Gentleman" and lettered to him. I can't remember which was "Captain Money". I believe the barrels were renumbered at some time. These Parkers sure do get around.

I have a CH 12 gauge from John Davis ordered by Noel Money, Colonel Money's son. He ordered identical guns for he and his father that were identical in specs to a gun another member of their club had. I also have a shell loaded by Colonel Money for a two man challenge pigeon shoot. 100 birds and the stake was $1,000 per man. https://parkerguns.org/forums/showth...le%3A%20Parker
