That is excellent! Dean, you ought to write a piece on skeet and W H Foster for the DGJ. It would be great

Thanks Mills. I think Brother Drew covered that both in his Damascus Knowledge web page as well as contributions to DGJ. I could be wrong about DGJ though. I'll have to check back in my DGJ Readers to see.
I'd love to go to that property with my metal detector and look for that old rusty Expert trap machine. Now that would be a fine display piece for my gun room.

There's a lot to know about the history of Skeet and I think I've only scratched the surface as far as that history goes here in Andover but I've always got my eyes and ears open.

A Parker specific update would be great.
"William Harnden Foster and the L.C. Smith Skeet Special" was in Volume 21, 2010, Issue 4, Page 121.

I'd be happy to forward the full size scanned covers to Dean or anyone else; here's another

Drew, I find no "Skeet" topic heading on your web page... perhaps I'm missing something. Can you direct us to a link for Skeet there?

And Yes, I would be grateful if you would forward them to me at dsromig@aol.com

Thank You.

Yes, I looked all through the Trap section.

Thanks
