Mr.Hoover you need to pursue that gun and add it to your modest accumulation

It is hard to buy something that isn't for sale, if I was from Va and independently wealthy, I might have a chance

We have that book. It also came with a CDROM on the history of English Setters. I have to see if we have extra copies. If so I'll make them available.

I looked in our cache of John Taylor books. We only had the one copy. We have other books and I'll post them in a separate thread.

I was looking for an Ithaca letter the other evening and after reading it, I had a light bulb moment I guess you could say.

It is a high grade, field configured 20 gauge ordered by George H Ryman. It is one of probably less than 10, NID Grade 7E 20 gauges. The gun was completed in 1947.
The original buttstock had been shortened unfortunately, perhaps for a lady. It has been restocked quite nicely and the original is still along.

Per the letter Walt Snyder put together on this gun a few years ago, Mr Ryman also ordered a 7E 410 at the same time.

So my question, I’m sure most of the crowd here knows much more about Mr Ryman than I do, did he order any Parker guns, or any other makers guns for that matter.

He sure seemed to have had no problems ordering high grade guns.

Stan, I don't know if George Ryman ordered the double i purchased from his wife quite a few years ago. It was an LC Smith skeet special 20 bore with Hunter One trigger, 2 sets of barrels, one with splinter and the other with beavertail, vent ribs on both. I wish I had that one today!!!

I was gifted my good friend's pup after some serious medical issues. Pine creek Dave of Pittsburg PA. Dave is doing better now but still can't train or work his pups. We hope that this fall Me, Dave and Daisy can get a hunt in the Potter County grouse woods he so loves. We received Miss Daisy May the 2nd week of last December, she was 10 months old. She is a Ryman setter orange Belton from Wyss Fireside Setters. She had zero training when she arrived and other issues. I am very happy to report that Daisy has a happy forever home her in Ohio with my other setter Miss Charlie Rae, they are best friends for sure! As I type this, we are on the cusp of a 2-week stint in the MI. UP. We are very excited to say the least. Some pictures of my buddies...(-: SXS Ohio

That would be a certain well driller.
