JLF's right...
In spite of my earlier enthusiasm about it, the gun is most likely in the Boat Anchor Category, and Caution! is definitely the byword.
In addition, a factory letter would almost certainly prove to be a disappointment; it would probably show nothing more than your basic Government Model shipped on such-and-such a date, and so forth.
