Hedderly often wrote in "Forest and Steam" about his shooting and his guns.Once in awhile he would post a picture of the guns. I would try and make out the grade as he must have had deep pockets as he seemed to always be ordering a high grade Parker to test his theories.I had a complete collection of Forest and Stream and spent 6 months reading the double gun articles and looking at the ads.I still have a few of the later ones somewhere,from 1911 until they passed the gauntlet to "Field and Stream."You had to wade through the yachting results and other articles of scant interest but that was a great magazine.
