This is my first post on the PGCA forum. I appreciate very much the info given on this thread as I was privileged to be able to spend an hour with BoWhoop (I) before it was sent from Savannah, GA to Julia's auction to be sold. The shells are only secondary in interest to the gun itself, for me. I have looked for a box of the original loads myself, and have not been able to locate any. This is not an original, even tho' it looks like it. Twenty-three of the shells in it are original, tho'. I do, however, have an original full box of the 1 5/8 oz. Luballoy loads.
Maybe someday. Thanks for the info, Bill.
