The reason I ask about the engravers is the original purchaser of the gun (Harry Nye) while living in Chicago when he purchased the gun began his working career at C Rogers & Brother located on Butler St in Meriden Connecticut. The Parker plant was 26 Cherry St. in Meriden. If you look at a map the streets are almost right next to each other. The link between C. Rogers & Brother silver platers and Parker Brothers guns is the silver-plating work for C. Rogers & Brother was initially manufactured by Charles Parker. The two companies are not related but a young man Harry Nye who was a hunter could have easily made friends with people in a gun company located 100 yards away from his companies’ headquarters. So, it is possible that 20 years after he left C Rogers and built his own company, Nye Tool and Die he wanted to buy the best and better than that he knew the guys who made it. And personally knew Anschutz. Just putting 2 and 2 together. It is a story, but a believable one.
