Default Pigeon Gun info.

Ok, I have the PGCA letter and a few picutres of the gun. It was bought by O.R Dickey but was possibly for another pigeon shooter. Kind of a bummer it's not Dickey's gun, I guess there is no way to know if he used it at all or bought it for a client. The gent G.M Wheeler who eventually owned the gun was a trade rep. for the Peters Cartridge Co., I can't find much information on him. If anyone has any information or could direct me to some, it would be greatly appreciated. It's without question a purpose built gun, lots of wall thickness, high stock, and the wrist is very thick. I wish I had the first factory stock, the current stock is extremely high at 1 3/4" DAH! Check out the pictures, it's a very neat gun. Also, doubble click the letter and give me your interpretation of it.

Thanks,
Chris
