			I am so thank full for all the information you guys have provided. Now that I have his full name I have been able to find out some interesting information about Mr. Gambell.When I purchased the gun from its previous owner he stated that it belonged to Proctor and Gamble, well as it turns out after checking the Irish Berry Family Genealogy on Francis Octavius Berry ( thats what came up when I Googled L.H.Gambell). Arthur Boyd Gambell ( grandfather) and James Norris Gambell (uncle) were brothers who came to Cincinnati from Ireland and worked in the soap business. Later James Noris Gambell became partners with William Proctor and started Proctor and Gamble soap manufactures.
 So Arthur Boyd Gambell (grandfather) had a son name Arthur William Rogers Gambell (father) who had a son Name Luther Henry Gambell, Who's beautiful Parker I now Own. Not sure when or why the Gambell name changed spelling but from what I have read this was common when families came to the states from across the pond. Grandfather Gambell does not seem to have the notoriety of founding P&G as the credit seems to go to his uncle. I will dig a little deeper. Thanks for any and all of the information you guys have to offer.
