The AAHE that was recently sold at auction was also delivered to Seattle Hardware and is #15XXXX. Let us know whether the "Interested in sharing the history of the Parker shotgun" PGCA gives you some further information. Let me know how that comes out.

You have to be proud of this pair for sure.

Brad's work on them is impressive to say the least!

Thanks for the nice remarks on these two guns, the B sure has an interesting letter. Makes you wonder who the shooter was as it was obviously someone that took shooting serious. As I have said in previous posts finding Parker's such as these is the fun, guns in unusual places that have not been in the market ever or maybe not in the market for years,

Dean, "Such as" may include the two guns, the AHE and the AAHE being on the same order, an order with a name included, which may connect the two guns, and many, many other possibilities. You are absolutely aware of "Such as", without my explanation. Your comment says it all about the PGCA and its directors. They are not interested in sharing information, nor, apparently, are you. When someone comes up with guns like the AHE on this thread, and another member suggests that there may be a connection with another important gun, the research committee should rush to share whatever information they can easily access. Chuck does this on a very very occasional basis, with no suggestion from board members that I know of. In fact, it has been said that the research committee is under the iron hand of the BOD and would be chastised if information is shared for under $40.00. By the way, "You're welcome" for my information on the AAHE. I will wait for your reply.

Mr. Putnam shot at the Fort Garry Gun Club in Winnepeg around the time the B Grade gun was made and was still shooting there in 1913. I don't know why the gun was originally shipped by the Winnepeg dealer to San Antonio.
