Daryl:

No worries at all but thanks just the same !

Hello Randy,
I was searching the internet for Homer D. Freeman and found your post.

Homer Freeman was my Great Grandfather. He was an excellent shot, who passed his tradition down through the family. He taught my father how to shoot, who taught his grandchildren - my children. They all shoot trap, skeet, sporting clays, etc. I happen to have 2 of Homer's trophies. My brother has another.

I'd love to know more about the gun and would be interested in purchasing it if you care to sell. We don't have any of his guns. My boys would love this!
Hope to hear from you,

Mary Lynn

Hi Mary Lynn:

Thanks for the response. I am excited to hear this news. For us lovers of these older guns their history including the owners is always intruiging. I am going to send you a PM with my contact information and we can go from there. Thanks Again !!!

Wow! What a great story in the making. Even if the finality happens differently, we seldom hear of family members caring much less inquiring.

Randy, did you and Ms. Darcy make contact and maybe a deal? Family guns are very interesting. I have my grandfather's Lefever E grade pigeon gun, made in 1887, 134 years old by my calculations. He was 31 years old in 1887, probably ordered the gun himself. It has special order features that would indicate a special order gun. Another hijack, sorry about that.

Bill I did reach out to her but did not get a response.

Sounds like an future article for the PP

Maybe John but I'm having trouble finding time to finish the one I'm working on now but I'll get it done some how.

Hickey Freeman (lol)
