I think we all know that Parker order books end in 1919 and stock books, IBM cards and A&F records are all that exist after that. Stock books and IBM cards seldom give information about the original purchaser. Sometimes we get lucky, sometimes not. My .410 skeet was purchased from the nephews of the original owner/purchaser, but no Remington or Parker records mention him. I got luckier with my 20 gauge skeet. The gun was purchased from a skeet shooter who was a Remington distributor, better provenance than my .410.
