More pics from Mark of his BHE:

Mark, when I looked at it I couldn't really make it out either, but it did look almost like Upperville, Virginia. The lettering engraved on the cap was very well done, but I had on my dark driving glasses, and with my short arms just couldn't quite hold it far enough away.... Thanks again, Fred.

The dealer I got it from was from Virginia so that would seem to be real
The one thing I like about old items is history
Wouldnt it be something to be able to know all the history of the Guns we have .......

Ok I have the Parker Letter on this gun
1st off big thanks to this association for this service

Interesting stuff
Could anyone explain the RH 200 and LH 275 pellets part?
