As a piece of family history it is of course priceless, and should be retired to a place of honor in your home. Under no circumstances should it be fired. |
Thanks Drew,
Yep that’s it and thank you so very, very much. And thanks to everyone for your help and support. Looks like you were on the right track Brian. And a special thanks to the Parker Gun Co. for making this discovery possible. Now I have the information needed so maybe my great-great grand nephew can tell his class mates, this was my great-great-great-great great granddads J Stevens Arms and Co Model 235 rabbit ear shotgun.
