I think the ones we have discussed were the ones he shot on a regular basis. Like for the rest of us, those were the few and the important. My neighbor and co-author was on the track of another one that we haven't located. JPS Jr. had a baggo guns, but that is a different situation altogether.

Bill, did you receive the PM I sent you? I'm really interested in learning more about the Purdey.

Al, didn't get your message, or I can't locate it. I don't know anything about the Purdey, unfortunately.

Ran into another image which unfortunately is undated. His appearance is similar to the 1914 pic Randy posted on the previous page.



No way to ID the double from that angle
Loblolly Pine in the background? Pinehurst?

Hard to say with 100% certainty. It looks like it may be the 20 gauge Field Grade FW held in the collection. His left hand appears to be wrapped around a splinter type forend. Also, the barrels look like they are a shorter length. The 20 gauge in the collection has 26" barrels.

Great picture. Never seen this one before, thanks.

Drew, I have another gun that is probably a Sousa gun. It is a boxlock Prussian Daly Diamond Grade with a white frame like the one in the picture, made about 1897 according to a fellow Daly collector. Obviously, the one in the picture does not have an exposed hinge pin. I'm always looking for more pictures. Sousa, like Annie Oakley, posed for a very limited number of shotgun pictures.

Dean, JPS was not a high average shooter, but he did have his good days. Sort of like us. He also had some nice guns, sort of like us. In my next article on Sousa's guns, I will present the provenance for the Diamond Quality Prussian Daly pigeon gun.

Bill, in which publication should we expect to read your article?
