Craig, can you tell us where Mr. Platt lived? The "Gold Hearts Gun" is the only other lower grade gun that I'm aware of with gold parts.

Back then, Meriden was a nicely, leisurely drive up route 5 from New Haven. Probably one and a half to two hours. I'll bet he took the day off had the Missus pack a lunch and had a nice picnic in Hubbard Park. "Oh, darling, I just want to swing by the Charles Parker Company before we head home".

Or he could have taken the train. The New Haven line made stops along the way to Hartford, one of them being Meriden. Probably only an hour or so.
