Parker letter question...

[Jawjadawg]

More info I've found, although useless, it is somewhat amazing what can be found so quickly on the internet.

This gun was ordered by W.G. Dunn of Madison, Wi. I found a directory listing from 1917 which listed W.G. Dunn as living as 321 North Brearly St. Madison, Wi. A quick search of the internet turned up a picture of what is likely the first home of my gun. I wonder how long she lived there with Mr. Dunn? Looks like a nice neighborhood.

Any repair information, with rare exceptions, ends in 1919. The repair records are "order books". The order books only go to 1919, again with rare exceptions. The exception would be order book 101 which goes to 1934 but contains only a few orders for new guns. PGCA has no source of information on Remington repairs.

W.G. Dunn may have been a dealer, but I am not sure of that. I have another of Mr. Dunn's VH 16s, #136,923, ordered on April 27, 1906. It has 28" barrels, was ordered to shoot a target of 200 unspecified shot size, light trigger pull and regular #1 butt on a figured stock. Stock dimensions were to be 14 1/4" by 3" drop. Can you post the serial number and PGCA letter particulars for your gun?
