Getting such a complete letter on a gun is really nice. I should have my Boss lettered. Maybe I could learn the history on it. Cant figure how to go about it.

These are the people I contacted. They responded quickly via E-Mail. I telephoned them to initiate payment and received the ledger page the next morning. Stuart Ivinson is the Assistant Librarian and the fellow I spoke with. Good Luck with lettering your Boss!

Here is the S.S. Montnairn. It was scrapped shortly after my gun was delivered.

Simple. First you contact Boss. Then you pay a research fee. Then you know the story. Start here:
