George,
Why don't you start the ball rolling and list what you have as far as tags and letters. It would be interesting seeing what you have.

Dean Romig 04-03-2012 10:19 PM

I would certainly buy the work tags for any on my Parkers.

Dean,
You could also buy any tags for my guns and donate them to my firearms relief foundation for wayward straight grip 20 gauges. Just a thought.

The reason for my previous post is supported by this picture taken in I believe 1927 the "Murderers Row" years of the Yankees. This picture was taken at the same time the picture posted previously. I bought both of these copies from Dennis Wolfe a few Vintagers ago.

Dave,
Don't laugh but I recognize the "Babe" on the right. Who are the other two gents?

Dean Romig 04-03-2012 10:55 PM

I would venture to say that your picture Dave, and the group photo on the previous page with the "Babe" were both taken on the same day.... same car as the one on the left in the first picture... same clothes... look for other similarities.

Daryl, The gent on the left is Lou Gehrig.I don't know the fellow in the middle and we know the "Babe" on the right.

Dean, Please read ALL of my previous post......:rolleyes:

Richard thanks for sharing this information.

170703 is a DHE with 34 inch barrels, straight grip, no safety, large grip, 1 3/8 x 2 x 14 3/4. The order states engrave one large duck on floor plate. The guard bow was engraved "Made to order for W. H. Wilshire Los Angeles, CA". This order is almost a half page. duBray was the salesman and the gun was discounted to $62.50. WFP agreed to the discount.

duBray sold lots of these long barrel guns to the west coast market.

Mark
