Photo of Annie from the 1900 Interstate Association GAH program...

Thanks Randy. Based on other images and the dress, that picture was taken about 1885.

Here is a close-up of the gun, which may have been her Cashmore

Drew, I checked the photo... dated 1896

Drew... Have a cabinet card photo of Annie but not dated...

All these pictures of Annie with the Cashmore, the Lancasters, and even an L.C. Smith are very interesting. However, the 1902 Grand American at Live Birds results posted in early publications and reposted by Reverend Doctor Drew state that Annie shot a Parker in that shoot. Research shows that her Parker was delivered just before the shoot. Although her hubby was not shown on the results list under his real name, he also ordered a Parker that was delivered just before the shoot, just a few days from the delivery of Annie's gun. I have PGCA letters on both guns and the similarity of the time line indicates that both guns were ordered for the 1902 shoot. Maybe Drew can look at the participant list for the 1902 shoot and identify Frank by a nom de fusil. I can't, and assume that maybe Frank didn't shoot, even though he ordered a Parker with that shoot in mind.

Drew, the link to the 1902 GAH in your first post no longer seems to be a direct link to that shoot. Can we get a direct link reposted? Thanks.

Yes, the Sporting Life archives changed the format :(

Thanks, Drew. Now, do we know a nom de fusil for Frank Butler?
