That is how Noel E. Money, elder brother of Harold B. Money (De Shootinest Gent'man), ordered his Pigeon Gun from Parker Bros. in February 1895, "flowers no birds".

Sousa's AAH was also engraved without birds or animals. My AAHE was engraved with nothing. Well, the engraver snuck in some bit of scroll on the sides of the safety, probably hoped it wouldn't be noticed.

The 28 gauge AA skeet gun. This may be the gun that shot a intruder in the cognon mansion in Duluth Minnesota. The gun went into evidence and then disappeared. It was thought that a family member was given the gun after the police let it out of evidence. George Flaim and Jack Puglisi both talked about the little gun, It was quiet a story. I use to hang out with these two characters!

Jim, did the Congdons ever say how much lead they gave the intruder before they shot him? With skeet boring(s) it couldn't have been much!
