Here is a little more information and a photo of O.R. Dickey. He also was the inventor of the "Dickey Bird Trap" and "Clay Pigeon". Just to note; he was one of the best shooters of that era.

The DHE 12 ga. I mentioned in a post a few weeks ago is the other gun that was bought in that lot of guns. The letter said it was sold to O.R. Dickey and possibly he shot it some, but it was sent back to the factory a number of times by Gil Wheeler a lesser know trap shooter. Both neat guns.

Orren R. Dickey was a high volume gun dealer in Boston. The Parker order books are full of entries for guns ordered by him. If a gun could be linked to him personally, it would be very interesting since he was a GAH winner and a famous shooter over many years.
