Well, I received my letter from the Parker Gun Collectors Association. My gun started life as a grade 1, 10 gauge hammer gun, with laminated steel 36-inch barrels, both full choke, LOP 14 inches, capped pistol grip, 4-inch drop at the heel, and a weight of 12 lbs 5 ounces. It was ordered by Mr. George E. Kohler of Tombstone Arizona Jan 21, 1891, and shipped June 17, 1891. The price paid was $80.00 (equivalent to $2,274.09 in 2020 dollars), Mr. Kohler, among his other ventures, was an auctioneer who sold furniture in Tombstone, he was also a founding member of the Freemason's in Arizona, serving as the first Grand Patron. This shotgun was ordered ten years after Sheriff Virgil Earp and his brother, deputy Wyatt Earp shot it out at the OK Corral on October 26 1881. Several of Mr. Kohler's relatives are buried in the same cemetery as the outlaws from the Ok Corral shoot out.
