No matter where you post them, they’re mighty fine.

Phil, have you figured out whether Orphan Annie is Dick Baldwin's old gun? How many 27" single traps could there be?

Bill, it seems like some circumstantial evidence is there but nothing you could take to court. Annie does have an unengraved gold-colored oval inlayed in the stock, and there's an oval showing on Dick's. Dick's has what appears to me to be a Hawkins pad; Annie has a plexi spacer under a more recent pad which could be evidence of the stock having been shortened at some point. But I've exhausted all the directions I know to go; nobody I've found seems to know anything about my gun, nor what ever happened to Dick's.

They’re certainly rare to say the least Mike. The Parker Story will have a total in the grades section though.
Mine’s not a SBT but I have a documented 16 ga. D Lifter with 27” Parker-made Laminated Steel barrels… unique in this configuration. . |

Now that is a cool picture!

It would be really cool if you could tie her back to a young Dick Baldwin. |
