Another trapshooter
 

I recently acquired DHE 179386sold to Parker W Whittemore of Pinehurst NC and was shipped in Feb 1919. What I ve found so far is that he was a golfer and won the Pinehurst Winter golf tourney with Walter Hagan in 1919 but I found a note that he won the National Am Trapshooting Championship at Travers Island in 1912. Originally from Mass he had a 30000 acre quail hunting lease in the Pinehurst area and this gun a 16 with 26 in barrels choked Cyl and mod is a fine bird gun. I am having trouble confirming his clay shooting as the Pinehurst gun Club records have been hard to track down. Any help is appreciated

There is much information on Parker Whittemore on la84foundation.com, research section, Sporting Life magazine search function. You might also search the Baseball Magazine file.

We would like to see pictures of this gun.
