Default Factory letter received
The factory letter confirms the configuration, the requested chokes were RH modified, LH full. Ordered by the Marshall Wells Hardware Co. of Duluth, MN to be sent to Carl Engal of Butte, MT on November 3, 1904. Carl Engel (1871-1956) owned a successful sporting goods store in the lively mining town of Butte, Montana that sponsored local shooting events with the Butte Rod and Gun Club. He was later deputy sheriff in Butte (1925-1931) during the prohibition years.
The price was $100.00.

My favorite year for Parkers -- 1904. Great engraving style and wonderful craftsmanship...and your gun has so much going for it in its condition.
