Charlie, I have a baggo information on the original Nebraska homesteader family that originally owned this Parker. Studying this family was an astounding history of homesteading and farming on pre 1900 Nebraska prairie. I can only imagine the killing this gun was involved in to sustain the family and their neighbors. Although the gun was ordered after 1900, the family history precedes the building of this gun by decades.
