1898 lost gun report

[Gary Rennles]

This appeared in the Dec. 31st 1898 issue of the Sporting Life.
I cant help but wonder if it has ever been seen again.
That would be a Parker with some history!


A Lost Gun.
Mr. H. P. Collins, general agent of the
Du Pont Powder Co., Baltimore, Md.,
writes as follows:
"I beg to advise you of a loss which I
sustained on Dec. 17 of my titanic steel barrel
Parker gun, No. 89651, which occurred some
time or somewhere between the hours of 5
o'clock, when I left the Riverton Gun Club
grounds, and my reaching Baltimore at 10
o'clock the same evening. The gun and a
Powers cleaning rod being removed from the
case and bricks and stones substituted therefor
to make up the weight. Will you kindly make a
announcement of my loss in your next issue and
very greatly oblige."
