Unless the letter states that the gun was ordered specifically for an individual, it is likely one of the hundreds (maybe thousands) of guns ordered by E.K. Tryon for inventory over the years Tryon routinely ordered large lots of guns, usually Trojan through Grade 2 (GH) for stock on hand, and were one of the largest distributors of Parkers. A single order from Tryon encountered in copying the Order Books in preparation for TPS ran over 14 pages! Without documentation, it is impossible to tell when or by whom the barrels were shortened, a common modification requested for guns with damaged muzzles.
