Guess he could have borrowed Harold's Parker

Harold Money, son of Captain A. W. Money, won the eighth annual live bird handicap, of the Riverton Gun Club, N.J. March 23d. He killed 98 out of 100 birds, 30 yards rise, winning first money, $760 and a beautiful silver trophy, valued at $100. This is young Money's second big winning within one months, he being the winner of the amateur live bird championship at the Carteret Gun Club, on February 23d. His score is the best ever made in these contests.
He used a Parker Gun, 3 3/4 drams, E. C. powder, 1 1/4 oz. 7 Tatham chilled shot, in U. M. C. Trap shell.
Harold later was a Winchester rep shooting an 1897, mostly on the Southern circuit.

If I had to pick a live pigeon load that would be it, those #7's are absolute death. Davis and I were shooting the RST (bismuth) version this past trip to Philly and found them to be just as good as they were back then.

Perhaps the long lost #90635 will appear in an upcoming Julia auction:duck:
I just couldn't resist.
