Notice in the PGCA letter, the gun made in 1896, after being sent to at least three expositions, was finally shipped to A. A. Kellogg, a popular hunting and fishing store in New Haven in October 1898.
The first time the gun was returned for service, the letter says the owners name was Fred Brewester. The second time it was returned his last name is Brewster. I'm curious if this was a mistake in the PGCA letter or in the original order books?
I'm also curious about the "redress stock and tip" part. Could it be that is when the skeleton buttplate was removed and the butt recheckered? And what is the "tip" referring to?
