Default Parker VH 20

Here are some pictures with the letter.
In my research, I conclude that Mr. Carr was a young boy when he received this gun.
It was returned in 1902 to "Fit new butt" for a charge of .50 cents?
In looking at the numbers in the stock you can see where the number has been overstamped. The "old" number goes back to a 16 gauge gun made in 1897 that research shows as a D grade.
My theory is that this was a "Take off stock" that was offered to Mr. Carr for a discounted price.
The gun now has a 14" LOP with a 2 1/2"drop.
It weighs 6lb 3 oz.
Research has Mr. Carr as a Commissioner to a Supreme court Judge.
My guess is that not many people refused permission to Mr. Carr if he wanted to hunt their property! LOL!
This gun Hammers birds!
