If I’m not mistaken Steve Fjestad owned it.

Chuck, I should have been more specific. What I meant, was copy the stock books again, with a camera arrangement like you used to photograph the order books, in order to more completely cover the missing information on the grades below grade 3. As there are many consecutive pages, where those guns are included, it would be easy to eliminate those and concentrate on runs of serial numbers obviously missing. Perhaps I have over simplified what would be required.

I think you have missed the point----the PGCA data base copied from the ORDER books already has ALL of the lower grade guns less than D's ( grade 3)in it. Not necessary to recopy the Order Books.

The authors of TPS data base is the missing link to ALL of the info in the STOCK books.

Thank you Allan, but you and Chuck must have misread my post (see above.) I did NOT say anything about re-copying the order books. In my reply to Chuck, I reiterated that I was suggesting re-copying the STOCK books, and only those portions which previously omitted the data for guns below Grade 3.

As we all know, the stock book information which we don't have is of very little interest. All the interesting information, original owner in particular, is in the order books. Thanks, Allan and Bill, for your help. To give proper credit to Ron and his son, I believe three copy machines were donated. I may be wrong about that, however.
