Wow, and I read the whole thing. This is what we do, and the end result is so very satisfying. I have been so fortunate knowing almost all of the people involved in this mystery. And it has been my pleasure!

Thanks for the comment, Jim.

Bill, This probably has been said but you my friend need to buy a lottery ticket! Congrats, Gary

A most interesting, and fascinating story! I read this from start to finish, like the book that you just could not put down!

This thread is being brought to the top for a poster looking for "buckshot Parker" information, and for Mills Morrison who has expressed information about owning this gun.

Bill, just found this thread this morning, thanks to you bringing it back up for our mutual friend, Mills.

What a great ending to a great quest. It was just meant to be, it seems. That window of opportunity that you speak of confirms the odds against this happening at all.

Thank you, old friend, for posting it all. I still would like to see pics of the gun in the case. I've never seen an old Parker leather case like the one you describe.

BTW, you and the lovely Linda ready for some more field run peanuts?

SRH

I remember this thread well. Great story that proves never say never

Re-read all 17 pages this morning, helluva story. Wonder what kind of odds you would have got on that in Vegas.

Waiting for some case glue to dry, I reread all 17 pages myself as well. Still thinking about where the Titanic Steel barrels are for my 26" AH 16 ga. 0 frame Damascus beauty, 88653.......Hmmmmm.

I need a set of 16ga 0 frame 30 inch Damascus ejector barrels. What's the chances of finding these? Probably slim to none.
