found a near mint copy of this 1995 book published for Ducks Unlimited
it's a collection of old stories beginning in the 1890's - live decoys, sink boxes, schooners fighting a blow- great stuff
I just started and am only a little over a dozen stories into it up to the late 1920's- but it hit me that so far- excepting the first story by the famous Fred Kimble who touts his muzzleloaders and mentions a couple makers--
the only guns mentioned by name (and in several stories by different writers) are Parkers, and mostly 10s
i figure these guys know what they are talking about
