MAUREAUX over the telephone and he told me he was the part-owner in the Chalmette Skooters Supply and he was put out of business by Hurricane Betsy in 1965. He told me most of the shops records were destroyed by the flood waters, however, he would make an attempt to trace the gun in question. Later I received a call from MR.
