Could there be two of them?

Bill,
I think the BHE 10 ga. spent it life in southern Colorado and was unknown to the TPS authors.... or so the story went. I remember asking the owner if it was fun to shoot and the answer was "I don't know, I have never shot it". I thought this was strange as I would surely light off a gun like that if I owned it. Anyway, it would be a neat gun to see in person. The gun last year was "redone" and being shopped on the dealer side. Is Destry's gun re-cased? I think there is more than one. I am not sure who you mean by "Mr. Parker"?

Patrick
