There are some very historically important duBray/Custer documents that will be auctioned in the same auction with the AA hammer gun. I was asked not to publish those because of their uniqueness and the information they contain. But interested folks should watch the JDJulia/Morphy auction coming up at the end of October.

Orren R. Dickey jobbed many Parkers in the same realm and quality level as the DuBray gun. He was a high volume Parker dealer as well as a high average pigeon and trap shooter. He was the epitome of the Parker Brothers insider. Of all Parker people I would have wanted to meet and spend time with, I rank them DuBray, Orren Dickey, and William Wagner, possibly not in that order. All three of these guys came up in the very early days of competition shooting and all three were hard core competitors as well as Parker shotgun salesmen and promoters.
