I contacted S&WHF using the email on their website but haven't heard anything for three days. There are 8 names on the contact list and only the one email. I'm not sure it's getting to the right person.

Does anyone hear have any ideas on how else to make contact? Maybe I'm just being impatient.

Anyway, I'm sure it's just a typo and it will get resolved in due time. One interesting fact is that the gun was delivered to Mr. Lew Seely with no address listed. Makes me wonder, did he pick it up from the factory or maybe asked for the address not to be recorded. Maybe he had no address.

A quick search shows a Mr. Lew Seely that was a resident of Natrona County Wyoming at the same time my family lived in the area. Mr. Seely was a member of the Natrona County Pioneer Association in 1901, appointed Marshall in 1901, and Councilman in 1904. He also served as generalissimo of the Apollo Commandery Knights Templar #8. Not sure if there is any connection, but it's intriguing and something I can further pursue.
More than likely, Roy just made a typo (it happens). A very heartfelt and sincere congratulations on that find and if you ever decide to part with it, please consider me as one of the interested people. Calling "dibs" on spot #1 of the list when and / or if you ever decide to part with it.
