1896 The Parker Gun

[Bill Murphy]

The barrels came on a gun, #74,151, that I bought from John Davis Esq. Some time later, I found the original barrels for #74,151 in Virginia and put them back on the gun they were made with. Don't ask me to swear to any of this.

[John Davis]

Bill, I remember the gun. It was a DH that originally had damascus barrels but those had been replaced (non-factory) with a set of Titanic steel barrels. I think you found the original barrels and popped the Titanic barrels on another gun or found the original gun that the Titanic barrels went with? Not sure which but I do remember it was the case of another rabbit you pulled out of the hat.

[Bill Murphy]

John's BH gun has something to do with this. I have all the correspondence, but I promise to never look at it again. John, I miss you and your paper.

Randy,

Did you get the entire lot from the Mason?
