to whomever started this string,
My name is Joe Miller my email is [email protected] I am an antique frirearms dealer in Van Buren Ar. I am trying to authenticate a shotgun which is in my store. This is a Charles Moore english mfctr 12 gauge and its in good shape for its age. On the buttstock there is a silver plate that says "presented to J.P. Clum by his friends 1883 tombstone". My question is do you know where Jon Clum was in 1883. I know he had to leave Tombstone for a while after the vendetta ride by Wyatt and his friends due to ill feelings in town. Any info no matter how trivial may allow me to do further research on this firearm. One thing thats true of antiques of any kind is "If one man can make it another can fake it" just trying to do a thorough job for my client. Thanx Joe
