I have also been informed by Chuck that the serial number is not readily available, although he is searching for me. Everyone please cross your fingers for good luck that he finds the record.

Very nice, Harold - btw, I always want to comment about your pup. Love the way he sits in that picture on the tailgate. The skeleton butt was the one thing I would want that this one didn't have. The drop was noticeable enough in the pictures for me to discuss it with the shop. I had the guy measure and it appears to be a photographic illusion. I can't remember the measurements he gave me, but it wasn't the 3+" I was expecting. I didn't even ask him the frame size. I was so relieved to hear the barrels were 28" that I moved straight in to buying mode without asking. I knew I had to get a deal worked out pretty quickly.

Will, ironically, mine came from Atlanta, from Anderson's Hardware, according to my letter. On the oval is "Joseph Gray, Atlanta, Ga." Had to be some old quail hunters gun ordered in at cyl/mod. I can just see it pulled from the wagon and going in over point by a pair of setters. Mine has a good bit of drop also, around 3"and does have a nice skeleton butt. My gun is a little older at ser 132xxx, from 1905. Looks like a wonderful gun and hope you get good news from Chuck.

I think Will got a great gun and I don't give a hoot what the Book says. The stock looks right as rain. I would have bought the gun myself, but Will saw it first.
If you don't want it Will, send it to me. I don't think that will happen.
