Hutton did live in Colorado and worked there but not as a gunsmith. Forum member Clint was his neighbor.

By the way, my 1922 Springfield custom that is very similar to Hutton's guns also has a Winchester buttplate and appears to have possibly come from a Parker-Whelen gunsmith. Same name stamp, different name.

Would love to see pictures of the 1922. What name does it have?

John

John the name on the 1922 is "GIBSON", not Gipson, another gunmaker. GIBSON, FAIRFAX,VA. Most Parker-Whelen employees lived in Northern Virginia. However, I have not been able to place Gibson in the Parker-Whelen shop.
