Annie and Frank Butler

[MarketHunter]

Did the gun in fact belong to Butler?

[Pa SxS]

The gun was originally sold to a guy in Canada. A few years later, the gun was returned by the Charles Parker store in NYC to fit a pair of v
Vulcan barrels and marked to J.P. Dannelsfeser on Chambers St. NY. The last entry for this gun has it being sent to Parker for some minor repair by Frank Butler and returned c/o Dr Betts in NJ. It could have been owned by Frank and maybe because he was traveling, sent to Betts till Frank returned home or, it could have been owned by Betts and Frank may have offered to send it to Parker for Betts since Frank had many dealings with Parker. We don't know without the S/N if the researched gun is the one given to Allan Betts by Frank Butler.
