Default Kennedy shotguns?

Is anyone familiar with Kennedy shotguns which were made in Minneapolis or St. Paul? I believe TR owned a 16 ga Kennedy and took it with him to South America.

Thanks,

JDG

There's a gun floating around that has a strong chance to actually be "The" Kennedy that belonged to TR. There's either been an article written about it or is one forthcoming.

Yep. Trying to find out how many 16 ga guns Kennedy actually made. By chance I had dinner last fall with a gentleman whose grandfather actually worked at Kennedy. Unfortunately the Kennedy records are sketchy at best.
