That's some good solid provenance!
I hope you can find additional provenance on 60068

The Order Book shows 60068 as being ordered by the E.T. Allen Co. of San Francisco, CA and the order was placed by S.A. Tucker. The order # was 39439. There is no mention of Charles Eddy Parker in the order. There were 68 guns on this order. S/N 60068 plus 5 other guns (2 BH's, 1 DH 8ga., and 1 PH 8ga.) were sent on consignment.
The Stock Book shows this gun with the initials C.E.P. in the spot where the order number should be. S/N 60067 is also a CH with Bernard barrels and it has C.E.P in the order # spot in the Stock Book. This gun, according to the Order Book was ordered by the Gordon Hardware Co. of Seattle, WA. The order also shows it as a consignment gun along with 2 other CH's with Bernard barrels. This order was placed by mail and the order # was 40213.
I don't believe these guns were C.E.P.'s personal guns but he probably approved sending the guns on consignment. Did they have extra nice engraving and stock wood like the guns for exhibitions, who knows!
