Gary I haven't seen one for sale in over a year. I don't want to say what the last one I saw was way over the top

Gary have you checked with Rocky Mountain Co? They can make about anything and they are reasonable on price.

I just reviewed a bunch of old UMC paper, and I don't find A and B shells mentioned in the 1860s or 70s, just that they make brass shells in 8 to 14 gauge and for Sturtevant, Orcutt or Berdan primers. A and B shells are mentioned in the 1880, 1882, 1884 and 1885-6 UMC catalogues. The 11-gauge shells are only listed in the 1880 and 1882 catalogues, with just the 2 3/8 inch 11 B in the 1882.

I saw one a while back, at a show but was priced mighty high, like the Parker paper shells hard to find and seldom seen? Gary
