I recently purchased a 1913 12 bore Trojan with a misfitted DHBP - when I removed it I found information on previous owner.

I was able to learn he was a USMC vet who served on Iwo Jima with the 2nd 155mm Howitzer Battalion. He survived the war and passed away in 2012 and I ended up with his Parker. I would like to have shook his hand, said thank you, and bought him a cold beverage. Maybe in the next life.
