None of this precludes the possibility he didn't own both.

Mr. Del Grego didn't need to go to Chicago to sell 230,329, he sold it in his own back yard as far as I am aware. I can't remember the year 233,565 was discovered, but Moose was dead by then. How about we quit this discussion and you post the bibliography on the Invincibles that Gary suggested. I would like to think there is a piece of the puzzle that I don't have.

I've already posted what Gary told me. If that doesn't jibe with your history, I'd suggest you discuss it with him at the southern. I don't know what I need to quit as I'm merely repeating what he told me last week and today.

I sure would like to be up to date. I'm going to start by reading the Parker Pages articles. The first thing I was reminded of was that 233,565 "came out" earlier than I thought it did if Roger's article is factual. I'll search for Dietrich Apel's article next.

Twice you made reference to the gun being "discovered" but I'll be dipped in stink if I can figure out what event takes place for a gun to be "discovered". Is it like The Big Bang theory? One day it isn't and something cataclysmic happens?
I sort of figured when it was bought from Parker, there it is. You indicated the gun was made for Henry Lyman and that made sense, as he lived one town away from Meriden, The Lyman family being perhaps one of the most influential families in CT. it doesn't seem so far fetched that he might sell it to a friend in the very next town, also one town away from Meriden. Gary said he went to Cheshire, without the prior knowledge that the original owner was from Middlefield. I'll bet Lyman and Herrant knew each other for years and probably shot together, fished together and whatever else two old farts do together. So, if all this happened between pals, the gun has yet to be "discovered"? I've several guns my dad bought new, including a Parker. His DHE 20 is still in the family. I guess they have yet to be discovered,even though I swear I took the 16 grouse hunting last fall. Huh, go figure.
