looking for info on 157474

[chris dawe]

It's a 2 frame GH and I was wondering if there was any info recorded worth sending for a letter?

Thanks guys.

Chris, if you would have gone to the Research Letter link on the home page, you would have found that there are surviving records for your gun.

What info you would get is a crap shoot. Sometimes you get only basic info, sometimes you hit the mother load.

Chris I checked the Parker serialization book and the gun was not listed .Andy

Andy's information about the serialization book has nothing to do with what PGCA has in their research files. Apparently, PGCA has research information on your gun. Go for the letter.

Thanks guys,I'll order the letter a see what happens.

Best,
Chris

Your letter should include order book information which could include the original purchaser.

Bill the original purchaser is what I'm interested in ,the gun was scribed under the grip cap and in the forend channel with "Major Hill" ,it came from Ontario,the first thing to come to mind was a military man or police officer...but a search for those didn't come up with much ,but there was a Major Hill (Major was his given name ) who was a daredevil back in the day ,he rode a barrel over Niagara fall's a few times and I believe may have met his demise on his last run.

It came to me in a trade with the original stock cut to less than 12 inches, but everything was in decent order ,good engraving,the infallible trigger working great (after some tweaking) and the original Damascus barrel's in almost perfect condition.
The gun is almost finished re-stocking,then it will be some photos for the forum .
