Mitchells Bay is on the Canadian side of Lake Saint Clare (from SE Michigan). Great waterfowl area to this day.

Original, or some later owner was definitely a waterfowl hunter! Yes you should investigate the society. Nice Top Action hammer gun.

An attractive gun.
The gun is restocked, possibly converted to straight grip from pistol grip. It is worth checking the book at least on that. The barrels are nicely refinished, after the inscription was added.

Thanks for confirming that Brian. The seller thought so too. Sent my request in for a research letter just prior to posting here. Always fun to gain a little perspective on the life it may have led prior.

That is a very nice — and cool — gun. Ducks beware!
