Hey Garry, this might seem like a weird question but have you ever come across any information that when Parker Bros. created gun serial numbered 666 Wilbur took it for his collection?

Mike, my perspective with the research I'm doing has to do with Wilbur's work that was part of the conservation movement in America. I am a student of others here regarding anything of Parker Shotguns. That would be quite intriguing if there was something to connect that serial number to Wilbur.
