The photos are from my phone camera and are not to detailed. I'll take better ones this weekend to post along with the letter. There are no photos with anyone with the gun but I have a photo of my great-grandfather with one of his Llewelyn setters that dates to 1890 which I'll post too. My avatar photo is another one of his Llewelyn's named Dan Gladstone, out of Gladstone and Champion Sioux. Barrels are 28" cyl/cyl. I'd love to track down a period correct fitted case if anyone knows where to obtain one.

If you put all of that up on the forum, an article in Parker Pages would be pretty anticlimactic...
There is plenty of space available in the next issue of Parker Pages if you so choose.

Seems to me that Gladstone and Champion Sioux were famous dogs in the day.

Dean, I'll send you a PM later about a PP article.
