The gun matches the information provided in the research letter. It left the factory in an order to the E. K. Tryon Jr. & Co. of Philadelphia PA. From there it made its way to Canada but that is a cold trail in a search for the original owner. I read other posts about Tryon and so far it appears no gun sale records are available or known. It would be most useful if such a source surfaced. In simpler times mail order guns easily made it to Canada. Those days are so long gone. It seems my only hope is to work with the seller on any information that can be recalled about the purchase and the Vimy story. I know I have the name of the original owner in the spreadsheet but there are thousands of names. Still continue to scratch away.

Pictures of the gun are HERE
