Fox, I've learned that when someone is as assured as you are about their facts, I take them seriously even when the evidence I've seen doesn't agree. Besides there is too much controversy over whether the "Lady" was a Parker or a Lefever for there not to be some truth to the idea that there must have been a previous or maybe later version of the story where the make of the gun was revised.

Just for my curiosity, Fox where do you find the information about the story originally appearing in F&S in 1948 and revised in the 1962 May edition I have?...Geo
