Ornate Shooting Trophy
Interesting ornate trophy. Also, the Field and Stream page mentions the use of smokeless powder in 1892. There is a popular misconception that pre 1900 guns were for use with blackpowder only. We regularly get questions here concerning whether they can use smokeless powder with their early guns. Smokeless powder became commonly used in the 1890's, this F & S mention being only another verification of such use.
It would be interesting to find this trophy now.
