Gun #7251 is the first 20 gauge Deluxe listed in the shipping record, and as I recall, sometime in the mid-1990's it was listed for sale by dealer Hershel Chaddick. A wealthy beer baron in Athens, GA was into double gun collecting at the time and ordered the gun into a local jeweler's shop for a look-see. Having a reputation at the time as a double gun nut, I was invited to the review; and it was there I had the opportunity to see and handle this extraordinary gun. So although I've no details surrounding the recovery of this gun, it was recovered at some point; and the last word I had was that it now safely resided in an advanced collection somewhere in Minnesota.
