Default My First Letter

I just received my first PGCA letter for the CHE damascuss 20 that has recently come to live with me.

The gun was ordered by a company in Philadelphia but was shipped to a sporting goods company in Hanover PA. The gun remains in exactly the configuration in which it left Parker Bros right down to the Silver's pad

Thanks Chuck!

Now if I can just kill a Grouse with it, it rains every time I ake it out

Be patient my friend. It will happen. Besides, a little rain won't diminish it's exorbitant value.

Bill it was ordered by E.K. Tryon Co and shipped to Adams Sporting Goods. The price in 1913 was $134.75 with the charge for ejectors and the pad...it sure went up in value in 100 years

Robert thats awesome thanks for sharing it. It would look good framed in "The man cave". A nice bit of history from the good old days.
