I received my research letter this week. It was purchased by George F. Foote of Greenwich CT on February 5, 1894 with 30 inch twist steel barrels. In July 1894 it was returned to Parker by Hartley & Graham of NYC to fit a new pair of 26 inch Twist steel barrels bored cylinder and make as light as can . Great to know it's origin. Wishful thinking but it would be nice to locate those 30 inch barrels someday.
Thank you Chuck.
