U. S. Powder Co. Guns and others
I purchased a nice Damascus DH in Las Vegas this year. The gun letters to the U.S. Powder Co. in San Francisco, Ca. I am curious how many Parker guns the U.S. Powder Co. ordered in their duration. Are there any other lettered guns for the U.S. Powder Co. out there? If so what do you have? My new DH has 30" Damascus barrels. Stock is 14 1/8 to SBP with DOC 1 1/2, and DOH 2 1/8. Does the PGCA database contain query capability by who ordered the gun? For example, How many guns did U.S. Powder order during Parkers Bros. duration?
This also got me thinking about guns by state or region. I am being selfish here in that I don't care about anything shipped East of the Rocky Mountains. I am specifically thinking about MY REGION. While there where many thousands of guns shipped by Parker Bros. throughout the U.S., I am curious if anyone has dissected the records to see how guns were shipped by State. I am not sure how the PGCA database is configured, or if it contains information by state for example. If so then I think it would make a great article to publish the guns Parker shipped by state/vendor. Again, I am thinking of where I live and the low number of guns shipped to my region and who ordered them. While there were thousands of guns shipped each year I am curious how many where shipped to the Pacific Northwest? (Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, Utah)
Thank you
Patrick
