One went to E K. Tryon. One went to Carlos Gove in Colorado and the order books are missing for my C which is a bummer

Yes, I own W.S. Perry's 33" Bernard Steel C Grade top lever. Parker Brothers built this gun for Perry in 1887 but a year or two later, they built him a hammerless gun which they apparently wanted him to shoot. The C Grade was not used much and survived in mint condition. I don't know where the gun was all this time, but stored with it was his 33" Greener Royal eight gauge, also having survived in mint conditon. I was able to buy them several years ago in a market that didn't appreciate such guns. The Parker was displayed in the Concours de Excellence at the Vintage Cup a few years ago.

Mills, did Carlos Gove perform any of his magic on your #4 frame?
