The "gun being researched", referred to in post #582731, is a Parker with stock dimensions exact to the sixteenth to Annie's Lancaster dimensions. It has a full "pigeon" breech with no extension rib and large gold balls on each side of the rib like appeared on her Remington automatic. I didn't post the serial number and the gun has never gone to auction or been sold since its "outing". It was shipped to Newark on March 8,1902 and possibly shot at the 1902 Grand American at Live Birds which I believe was held in early April, 1902. The weight of the gun conforms to the ounce to the pigeon rules of the day and was apparently ordered to conform to those rules. Press writings of the time put Annie in the hospital recovering from her accident at the time of the April Grand. However, she attended and performed well at the Grand American at Live Birds so she must have recovered enough to shoot "her new gun". To add a bit of additional controversy to this thread, the 4E Ithaca mentioned by Drew is way off of Annie's drops at heel and comb and was certainly not ordered for her. I'm not sure whether that gun has surfaced or is still undiscovered. If Annie's name is on the Ithaca order and the gun surfaces, it will probably sell for an astronomical figure like some of the Parkers that were not made for her but are identified as hers in auction ads. The single trap gun that appears in her hands in photos about that time is a Parker. It has not surfaced or been identified as far as I know.
