I wonder if that gun exists or if someone was dreaming and filled the form out but never ordered

Would a letter answer your question?

I thought about a letter, but there is no serial number to look up

Regardless of whether or not the order was submitted, whoever came to those specifications knew what he wanted. That would be a great gun in that grade and in that configuration.
What a nice find, Mills!

well - its winter and Chuck will need something to do until spring shooting events start
it would be interesting to find the gun. since the records cannot be searched by name - how about using the approximate date of the catalog and use the serialization book to see how many A1's were made around that time, and fit the specs. that might give you serial numbers to review can't be too many

It is a 1912 catalog.
