Parker 10 Ga.

I would like to thank Chuck Bishop for the fast turn around for my Quality R 10 Ga. and have a question. It says it was purchased by a W. R. Burkhardt of St.Paul Minnesota in 1888. I have not had any luck locating anything on this gentleman but a W. R. Burkhard in St. Paul was a gunsmith that built Schuetzen Rifles at that time. Is it possible that the name was misspelled. Thanks Thomas

If you have seen the writing in the order books you would know it is easy to miss a singular letter at the end of a name. Or make out what was written completely. I would say it is likely that you found your guy.

Post a question on the American Single Shot Rifle Assocation site. If he was involved in Schuetzen I bet somebody knows all about him.
