Default Stock Shields

Out of curiosity I was wondering if anyone might recognize who the initials on these might be referencing. JBW on one and I believe HB on the other. No reference to either in the letters.

Yes, HB or BH. I don’t see any other letter in there.

Randy,The first step would be to publish the dealer, city and state listed on the research letter for each gun. From there use the date of the gun to look up reference material, city phone books, News articles, High Society, census etc for that time period. If they are high grade guns, which I assume by the silver ovals the owners most probably had some standing in society

I would say BH would be Brett Hoop.

Thanks. I'll see if he wants it back. Not sure why I never thought of that.

My finger is on the pulse of the Association. I have your 6.

Brett did ask that you clean it up real good before you return it and he thanks you.
