When I was allowed entry into the main kennel house / office at the Glen Rock Kennels where Skeet was developed I climbed up into the low attic where a bunch of old junk was stored... I almost half-expected to find Foster's .410 AHE all dusty and buried under some old boards. I spent quite a while looking through that junk but at last succumbed to the fact there was nothing of value there, other than the chestnut dog boxes.

WHF is one of the most, possibly 'the' most (arguably) celebrated figure in American Upland Sporting history.

Having that 20 ga. DHE skeet gun "thrust" into my hands was somewhat akin to finding a 'holy grail' with documentation that the owner won his class at the Glen Rock skeet field.
I have yet to find out who the other two winners were who shot with him that day... like who could have been the 28 gauge winner...
