Mills, we first saw the Seward Webb eight gauge in 1974 when it appeared in the Larry Baer book. Twenty four years later, we found the other two guns while copying the Parker records at Ilion. What a surprise it was to find out that the eight gauge was actually a trio of big guns. The story of Seward Webb and his life was written in a Smithsonian article years ago. It is a very interesting article about Webb and his life and times. Is there a Parker Pages or DGJ article about these guns? Where did you learn about them?
