[QUOTE=Dean Romig;6534]Tempting . How much does G&H charge for such research on guns they sold? Lynn Bogue Hunt- if he bought or bartered for a high grade SBT in 1931- does the ATA have any record of his shooting registered targets? Did he have a home club of record?
The shotguns of well known sporting artists might be a great topic for a well researched article in Parker Pages. I have a Chet Reneson artist's proof of "Sly Brook Natives" and have spoken with him in the past- believe he has a custom M21 in 20 gauge, but also, older "working guns" from his early days, Savage M99's and Model 12's- believe Art Carter did a article on him years ago in SC magazine--
Edmund Osthaus- I have a framed Litho of his painting of "Sport's Peerless Pride" had several Remington double guns and was an avid wingshooter. He did quite of bit of commissioned work in his Florida studio before his untimely death in 1929- and hunted dove and quail there I believe.
Not sure about Ogden M. Pleissner- I have the Peter Berg book about his career and wingshooting is mentioned a bit, but I don't know about his choice in firearms-
