As Destry mentioned above, he has had a couple Petmecky cleaning devices and they are pretty neat to have. Also try to buy any ebony cleaning rod now, you will pay way more than $100. You got a nice period accessory with a history.

C.W. Budd "Iowa Indian" Des Moines, with his Smith. He used a Parker in defeating J. "147" L. Winston, "The Wizard of the West" for the Du Pont Cup in 1897 at Watson's Shooting Park, Chicago. He later shot for U.M.C. and used a Remington C.E.O. Trap and in Sept. 1905 was high expert at Cincinnati with a score of 545 out of 600 targets from 20 yards. In 1906 he was shooting a Remington Autoloading Shotgun which became the Model 11.

Destry should recognize the one with the box

Thanks guys for all the great information/discourse ! I figured that this forum would definitely be able to shed some light on this subject !

Thanks again !

(I think I should go hunting this afternoon so I can have an excuse to use the cleaning rod & attachment !)
