I have CH 87238, referred to above, as part of my collection. It was actually ordered by Noel in October of '97 and was for two identical guns, 87237 and 87238. Presumably one for Noel and one for his dad, Capt. Money. The order specified they were to duplicate George McAlpin's gun. George was a top shooter and he and A. W. were good friends but later got into fisticuffs over some rule changes at a shooting club. Capt. Money returned 87238 in December of '98, so it is assumed that one was his.
The gun was later sold to M. H. Hogan of Torrington, CT on May 3 of '05 and returned on May 8 of '05. Must not have been what Mr. Hogan was looking for. The gun was then sold to SD&G in July of '06 as part of a 38 gun order. It now resides in Vienna, Ga., where it continues to give good service.
