Now there's one I definitely wouldn't want to drop off the deck railing Gary.
Do you know who the gun was originally made for? Charles Parker was a weekend sailor, and I wonder if it was made for one of his sailing friends. A few years ago, I bought a large collection of Parker family photographs from Ellen Parker Day, of Lyndonville Vermont. In the batch of pictures of Charles and Edmunds homes in Meriden, was a photograph of the family catboat, which I believe belonged to Edmund Parker, taken in Long Island Sound, off Saybrook CT.
