This great gun was offered on gunbroker a few short years ago, purchased by one of our members. I sent him a packet of documentation and provenance on the gun that I had received from Dick Baldwin. He beat me on the gunbroker auction and I congratulated him because we had become friends at the Fall Southern and he, Linda and I shared meals together. I sent him enough of my voluminous information on the gun that I had acquired from Dick Baldwin and the previous owner that the owner of the gun wrote an article on the gun in The Parker Pages. Bob Beach of Griffin and Howe shared information on the gun in the decades after the original owner. The family dealt with Abercrombie and Fitch to sell the gun. The PGCA member and author of the article passed away and his family placed the gun on gunbroker to sell. I purchased the gun from that auction. That is what you have to go through to own a gun such as this.
