I'm guessing that the guy in the above picture is actually Tom Marshall with his famous Cashmore. Drew, am I right?

Looks like the picture was taken sometime after 1927 as there are a couple of cars of that vintage in the picture but most of them are earlier.

Drew, Somewhere here I have an original photo of Tom Marshall holding a long barreled Parker, I'll see if I can find it...

Best, CSL

That would very likely be the Parker he used as Captain of the victorious U.S. squad in the 1901 Anglo-American Competition. The U.S. team decided to use only American guns, shells & powder, so Marshall and Merrill gave up their Cashmores and choose Parkers, as did Le Roy and Heikes who used Remington doubles at the 1901 GAH at Live Birds as Remington professionals. Parmelee used a Parker at the 1900 GAH at Live Birds, but had previously been a Remington professional. How Parker orchestrated the switch is unknown.
Rolla Heikes used a Parker at the 1900 GAH at Live Birds, finished out of the money, went back to his Remington and won the Interstate Association’s First Annual GAH at Targets June 1900. After the International Match, he used his Remington again, but switched to a Smith to take 3rd at the 1902 (last) GAH at Live Birds in Kansas City.
Gilbert of course was already using a Parker, Crosby and Fanning used their Smiths, and J.A.R. Elliott and Ed Banks (both Winchester reps) their 1897s.
More in the next Parker Pages.

The gun Tom is holding in that picture looks like a very high grade Remington to my eye. Maybe an EE-/EEO-Grade or a Remington Special?

If that picture of the lady holding the Parker is 1917, that is the Huntley pad. Sometime after WW-I they were absorbed by Jostam and it became the Jostam Sponge Rubber pad. They were still being offered in the 1949 Jostam catalogue.

The plot thickens Dave!
That photo at the ATA HOF is suppose to have been taken after his 1897 GAH at Live Birds victory using his Cashmore (with which he also won 1899) BUT Marshall thereafter was a U.M.C. rep. The 1904 Touring UMC Squad, included Marshall as Captain, R. O. Heikes, C. W. Budd, J. L. Head. T. E Hubby, W. H. Heer, J. T. Anthony, F. C. Riehl and E. D. Fulford; assisted by Frank Butler, and shot in 65 Southern Cities. The first five broke the five-man squad world's record by a score of 488X500 at Palestine, Texas.

This ad implies they all used Remington CEOs setting the 5 man record



Sadly, Fulford died from pneumonia Oct. 15, 1904

AND the U.M.C. squad and the DuPont/Winchester squad must have traveled together also - this pic is from 1905 with (left to right): Rolla Heikes, Jack Fanning, Unknown, Fred Gilbert, Tom Marshall (Captain), W.R. Crosby, W.H. Heer, Unknown



This is a good shot of what looks to be a Remington taken in 1912: Banks, Powers, Heikes, Gilbert, Crosby & Marshall from Sporting Life March 8 1913
