Default More of W.H. Foster

I received my 1925 "National Sportsman" today and, with it, received a few surprises.
In the Parker Gun advertisement is an illustration of a Trojan and in examining it I discovered the barrels were depicted appropriately enough for the year - sans rib extension, but the frame shows the earlier style with the recess for the rib extension. I guess they thought nobody would notice.....

The cover is an illustration by William Harnden Foster and it exemplifies Foster's good sense of humor with the obvious neophyte (upland hunter with what appears to be something like a Parker 28 ga {Foster's favorite upland gun}) waterfowl hunter caught in a somewhat awkward situation.

Looking through the classifieds I found this ad for Glen Rock Kennels, the birthplace of the new shotgunning game of Skeet... with some of my recent pictures to follow.
