Great book by the way John. Thanks for all your research as it brought Mr. Kimble to life as I read it. Will my signed copy be worth more money some day?

I have both versions. We're looking hard for the missing Kimble guns, especially the 33" toplever B Grade #4 frame. Mills will love that one when it is found.

The best part of that four years John, is that you shared it with all of us... Thanks!

This is probably a dumb question but how does one go about getting a copy of your book John?

Send me an e-mail with your address and I'll drop you a copy in the mail. They are $15.00 plus $3.50 s&h. I'm actually getting down to my last few copies. Thanks, John.

This is a fun thread, especially since today we have another thread active on the Cliff Green guns. Thanks to John Dunkle for not locking this thread. Most of the information I have on Cliff Green is in this thread and I hope other posters enjoy it the second time around, five years later. Maybe John Davis will tell us the latest in his search for Fred Kimble's B Grade #4 frame pigeon gun.

John’s book is a fun read. He went on extended hunting trips that I certainly could not get away with. Great book.

The current discussion of Cliff Green and his Parkers is in the "Parkers for Sale" subforum, thread titled "DHE 1/2 Frame for Sale". There is another mention of Cliff Green and Nash Buckingham in the description for Bo Whoop when it was sold in a Julia auction. Oddly, I recently found a Super Fox that was ordered by Nash Buckingham before he ordered Bo Whoop. The Super I found was apparently the gun Nash took to Canada for an extended hunt, mentioned in one or more of his books. He must have sold it or gifted it while in Canada, because it was found in Canada. I would like to find more mention of Cliff Green in Nash's writings, but it would probably be in a magazine article, because I have read all of his books and didn't find anything.

The search continues but the gun remains elusive.
