Bill,


Here is the research letter (attached). No owner information. In the stock Medallion I believe the initials are W.D.M.

If you recall a few years back this gun was mentioned on the forum, and it was thought that the initials were W.M.D. It is my belief that the M is superimposed slightly larger the other 2 initials. I believe the M. is the owner's last name.

It would be great to know who originally ordered this fine A1.


Thanks,


Bobby

You're getting warmer, but let the Fox man lead you Parker boys back to the campfire...

Tool Man,


I am assuming that William D. Munshaw is related to Dr. Harvey B. Munshaw...........

So, I do know this. Dr. Harvey B. Munshaw and Dr. Fred J. Rinehart were business partners. I sent a private message last week to a gentleman on the forum that knew Dr. Munshaw, however I have not heard back from him.


Do you know the gun belonged to William D. Munshaw? Thanks so much for the info!!!


Bobby

Oh, I guess I should have elaborated a bit further. My apologies........


This gun was originally purchased from the Estate of Dr. Fred J. Rinehart. I have been trying to contact his descendants to help elaborate a bit on the history of the gun, but have not been successful.


My estimation is that when Dr. Harvey B. Munshaw passed in 1989, the gun was bequeathed to Mr. Rinehart.
