Hobie,

Very nice gun. Do yourself a favor and get the letter from Callahan.
Mr. John Callahan
53 Old Quarry Rd.
Westfield, MA 01085

If nothing else, it will tell you when it left the factory and who it was sold to. So at least you will know where your uncle did his shopping.

I picked up a nice 16ga. To my surprise the letter said it was originally sold to a dealer in Cuba.

Researcher,

You are wealth of information! If he was buying barrels from Krupp, any idea who was making the "Sterlingworth Fluid Steel"? Was this an in-house operation?
