I just wanted to say thank you for all the interest and nice comments about the discovery. I wish I could articulate what I felt when I saw Legend looking at the stone but I can't. I can tell you this, I will never forget it. I had just about given up searching when I saw him standing by the stone. It's the picture where he appeared to be pointing the ground. I have chills just typing this. If any of you want further information please feel free to email me at gundog225@netscape.net Thanks again Scott & Legend

Scott, we owe you a big Thank You for coming forward with this great find. I too, am a big follower of all things Spiller but the Tapplys, Woolner, Cross, Davis, Evans, Knight and all of the painters who have illustrated their books are all equally represented in my library. I hope to meet you at the Major Waldron shoot on January 1.

Legend & I just wanted to say thank you once again for all the nice comments and wonderful emails. I have tried to answer them all and will continue to get to them in a timely manner. I consider myself very fortunate to be surrounded by people who appreciate men like Burton Spiller and what he did to help make the Parker shotgun the Legend that is is today. His books and stories have led me to other recent remarkable discoveries which I hope to share with you all very soon. Scott & Legend

What a great find and story. It seems fitting to post this to go with it. Pages 102-107, "Burt's Gun" by William Tappley
