Thanks Bill, when I'm viewing it looks like a photo of the actual page...when I copied and pasted it came out in gibberish.

Robert,
Your posting caught my interest as I am distantly related to Gurdon H. Pumpelly, and I am pleased that his fine CH is now in appreciative hands. The Pumpellys were a very prominent family in 19th- early 20th century Owego (not Oswego), Tioga Co., NY. I remember visiting the Pumpelly house in the mid-50s and being absolutely amazed at the huge collection of hunting trophies in the main hall....stuffed bears, mounted moose, etc. I believe that Gurdon took these animals while hunting in Canada and Alaska. I also remember the gun cabinet, but was only allowed to look. Unfortunately, the collection and house contents were sold off in the late 70s, after the death of his son Spencer. Perhaps this is when your CH left the Pumpelly family. The Pumpelly house is now occupied by a high-end bed-and-breakfast establishment. I may have more Pumpelly info in my files - please PM me if you have some interest. Regards, Bill Palmer |

Robert,
Nice gun, that's the one that passed through Robbin Hollow Outfitters a while back? I have a gun with a similar PGCA letter ordered by Gil Wheeler who is also on the score page you printed out. He was a sales rep. for the Peter's Cartridge Co. Neat. |
