In the Spring of 1995, I was called by my son-in-law, Allen Chick, of Waco, Texas to come over to his house and look at a gun that was owned by a friend. When I looked at the gun, it was a "sawed off" 16 guage shotgun. The gun had been wrapped in a pink blanket, cinched with a large black leather belt. After looking at the gun and the artifacts (explained later) I negotiated for the gun, and finally in October 2000, I bought the entire collection. The following information is based on research concerning the "Barrow Gang" and the Shotgun.
