Much appreciated Drew. The following as copied from the letter: Parker shotgun, serial number 170918, was ordered by Mr. G.B. Cragg of Dallas, TX on April 12, 1915 and shipped on June 11, 1915. According to Parker Bros. Order Book No. 92, it was a DH hammerless, 12-gauge. It featured Titanic steel barrels with a length of 34 inches. The stock configuration was a pistol grip. The requested specifications were Length of Pull 14 ½”, Drop at Comb 1 3/8”, Drop at Heel 2”, Weight 7 ¾ to 8 pounds. Special instructions were Silvers rubber butt, medium thick comb, 2” of pitch, no safety, trigger pull 3 pounds, 2 Lyman sights, and full choke. The gun was consigned. The price was $75.00 plus $10.00 for extra long barrels, $18,75 for ejectors, $5.00 for Silvers pad, and $1.00 for Lyman sights |
