Yes Bill, I think we learned the original buyer's identity from Bob Beach back when 241576 was auctioned.






.

I found some files I have in my enormous folder titled "Other People's Parkers" (the pictures I took at the Baltimore show of your Curtiss Try Gun are in this folder) and the G&H Letter that Bob had put together noted the chambers as 3" and the chokes as Skeet In and Skeet Out.

With your permission, because you paid for this information, I can post this information here. It's up to you.

The gun was ordered through A&F but was shipped directly from Ilion to the buyer.



.

Post here if you like or PM me. The G&H information is all I am missing.

For those interested and in the spirit of sharing information, the information I received from Bob Beach of Griffin & Howe on Parker .410 Skeet gun number 241576 (the only AHE .410 ever known to have been made) is as follows. There is more in the form of pictures of the gun that I may or may not find, or even have, but if I find them I will share them also,

Incidentally, this H.H. Barnard who ordered this .410 Skeet gun 241576 may also be the Barnard who ordered the .410 SKEET-ER two-barrel set that I once owned. The G&H records show that buyer as Barnard as well.

.

Well, we have finally identified the lucky owner of 241,576. It was displayed last year at a PGCA event. This is another great old thread.

Can someone please give us the reference to our visit at a PGCA event with the owner of the AHE .410? Was it on this site or in The Parker Pages?
