Ed,
Not only was it sent to Harris Flippen I just noticed it (#139589) is also listed in John's letter.

Thanks Larry. Harris, Flippen operated at the corner of 6th and Main here in Richmond for a long time. It closed in the late '80s, I think. They sold a lot of Parker guns. A local guy for years would show up at every gunshow here with a 32" SG DH with a funky stock. The profile looked like a Reading school flintlock, big roman nose bend in the butt. I threw it up to my shoulder one time and it fit perfect. Doc Truitt and I did a little research and it turned out it came from Harris, Flippen and went back to PB a number of times for this and that. The guy wanted way, way too much money for it. Cool gun nevertheless.
