Thanks John, for allowing us to read your article again.

That is a great article, answering some of the questions about how long and when Ansley shot his Parker. Too bad the American Field research that John Davis conducted did not unearth more information about the gun. I did similar research not long ago from Sporting Field, uncovered the Fox-Parker-Winchester time line, but unfortunately no information about the gun. Other research has uncovered information on the gun, which I will share with the owner of the gun. My generous offer will be temporary. In about two weeks, I will probably decide to continue the search for the gun on my own. For now, send me the serial number of D Grade 12 gauge Parkers with Titanic Steel barrels, made in the 1898 era as defined by the Serialization Book. Unfortunately, a PGCA letter will not identify the gun as having been purchased by Ansley Fox. If you send your serial numbers to my email address, I will reply with a yes or no and any information I can give you about your number. I have already replied to inquiries. If anyone thinks this offer to contribute to the solution of the Fox-Parker mystery is somehow self serving, let me know and I will delete this information and withdraw the offer. I will request that, as gentlemen, responders will give me first right to purchase the gun that has Fox connection if they choose to sell it. wilmrph@verizon.net

By the way, my friend John Davis has, in the past, assisted me with other research projects and should be congratulated for his books about Parker shooter Fred Kimble and other research he has done. When I clean off my desk, I will post the Parker-Winchester-Fox timeline research I recently did. It will be similar if not identical to the John Davis and Dave Noreen research done on the same subject.
