Kerrs as you has been colsed for a very long time. There was a DGJ article on them and I tried to contact the daughter to see if there eas any way to trace this but no response. The trunk case has the name William Bradford who I was told (and this I checked out) was a Major General in the US Army and was part of the US team on the bombing of Herishoma and commander of a S.A.C. base, there is a golf course named for him on a base in Arizona I believe. I can't positively connect him to the gun with any type of tangable proof of ownership nor can I connect anyone to the engraving. Kevin McKormic looked at it once and thought it might have been done by the CA firm that donates the guns to DU and has done many upgrades I just can't think of his name right now. I bought the gun from Steve Barnett and I know who had it one other time. Steve got the gun from a retired NFL player who now lives in NJ which would explain it's original short stock and 4 inches of drop, those guys have no necks!
At the end of the day I have a lot of maybe this ,maybe that but very little hard facts other than the PGCA letter that it's configuartion is original and the date it was shipped. I have the trunk case with Kerrs insignia also.
