A pair in a Faux Gator case !

[Jerry VanHorn]

My wife has her Bridge Club here today....so a good time to go upstairs. Started doing some dusting on the cased guns. Parker #44894..16 gauge..Shipped to W.C. Hodgkins ..New York..on May 1, 1885...28"/Twist..It is an "O" frame with the lightening cuts in the receiver. Choked F/F. Returned October 29,1894 by Brown and Sellers of Holyoke, Mass to make triggers pull harder. Cost was $1.00...The L.C. Smith is #170151..1912..Field grade 16 gauge..28"..M/F..The Parker is untouched, and I think the color was done on the Smith.I had a faux alligator English case relined for them.I'll let my Grandsons figure who gets what...
