Pete, try TPS Vol II Pages 462-464. Were you able to get a look at the breech bolt / ejection area of the receiver? The diagram on page 462 makes the bolt look pretty unique.

It is mentioned in TPS, but all that is shown is a drawing done by Hayes. I do not think that this prototype at Cody was known of by the authors or it would have been included.
I have often wondered what ever happened to any efforts on that project of Hayes. As I figured he would have gone father into it than just a drawing. I will have to try to inquire with Cody about some details on that gun.

I only looked at it briefly because there were so many guns to look at. The action was closed so I didn't notice anything unusual. It's hard to really examine any gun closely and even harder to take any pictures due to reflection from the glass and the poor lighting.

I did not notice that on the tag. Interesting. That gun was not in the remington museum previously. But it would make sense that any Parker pump gun prototype would have stayed with the company and went on to remington at the move.

I know what you mean about the reflection on the glass and poor lighting, I took a picture of the Annie Oakley guns on display at Cody and was disappointed.
