As I recall, Thomas Carter was a frontier merchandiser, trading post operator and dealer in Parker shotguns. When I bought a Carter gun some years ago, I researched him and found interesting information. I even found a Carter letterhead with an inquiry or a comment about a Parker shotgun on order. Google may get you some interesting information. Reread Kevin McCormack's DGJ article about his B Grade hammer gun. I think there is some Carter information in that article. I may be mistaken about that, but the article is still worth rereading. Sorry, Gary, the letter with the comment about the Parker shotgun was not a Carter letter. In fact, I think your gun is Kevin's old gun from the DGJ article. Congratulations.
