There is an aricle on the Kautzky family in the Winter 1963 issue of The Iowan by John Kautzky. It includes a picture of Joe Sr. holding a vent ribbed Parker Bros. double and a couple of Marie with her Parker single. From Dick Baldwin's wonderful book The Road to Yesterday, Marie never "won the GAH", she was High Lady in 1928, Third High Lady in 1929, Ladies' Clay Target Champion 1941. In 1928 the GAH was won by Ike Andrews, 1929 by Mose Newman with an Ithaca, and 1940 by E.H. Wolfe.
Joseph Kautzky's first single trigger patent drawing, Patent No. 827,242 granted July 31, 1906, shows it on a Parker Bros. Joe's Patent No. 990,562 granted April, 25, 1911, and Patent No.1,109,632 granted September 1, 1914, show his single trigger on an Ansley H. Fox action.
