Heck, why not. My DHE 16 O frame w 26" cyl/m barrels from 1905, has Jos. Gray, Atlanta, Ga. on the stock oval. Every time I handle the gun I wonder about the gent who ordered it. I know from the factory letter that it was ordered in by a hardware store in Atlanta (Anderson's).
What was a gun set up like that used for?--can you say Bob White? Some day I will once again put it to its intended purpose on a plantation quail hunt over pointing dogs(setters), and all will be right with the world.
