Scott, we owe you a big Thank You for coming forward with this great find. I too, am a big follower of all things Spiller but the Tapplys, Woolner, Cross, Davis, Evans, Knight and all of the painters who have illustrated their books are all equally represented in my library. I hope to meet you at the Major Waldron shoot on January 1.

Legend & I just wanted to say thank you once again for all the nice comments and wonderful emails. I have tried to answer them all and will continue to get to them in a timely manner. I consider myself very fortunate to be surrounded by people who appreciate men like Burton Spiller and what he did to help make the Parker shotgun the Legend that is is today. His books and stories have led me to other recent remarkable discoveries which I hope to share with you all very soon. Scott & Legend
