Letter Question New Model No 3

[Mikebiker]

I won this on Gunbroker and it came with the factory letter. It says a special order of 1 and gives a name but no address. Should it have an address? Is this common to have no location? I says delivered to, could that mean handed directly to the individual? The original ad pictures did not show it as renickeled.

It is fairly common for the archives to not have a shipping address and so it takes a bit of work and luck to backtrack the owner. I briefly owned the revolver you purchased and when I did the research I found this person as a possible match. The last name has two L's but since he was a bishop in Easton, MD (where the letter originated from) I figured there is a good chance he owned it. Good luck on the search! Regards, Lyle
