Dean, the "books" cannot be searched by name. If the gun is in the Order Book/Books and it was ordered by an individual, then you will get a name on the research letter. Also, if the gun was returned by an individual and is in the Order Book, you will get a name. Remember most of these guns were ordered or returned for repair by sporting goods or hardware stores.

In order to search by name or any other entry in the order, the Order Books would have to be entered into a database and broken down by name, gauge, barrel length, barrel steel, price, etc.. Anyone want to volunteer to do this? Each Order book (there are over 100 of them) has about 300 individual pages and each page has many orders on them, sometimes 30 or more guns.
