Another trapshooter

[walt brown]

I recently acquired DHE 179386sold to Parker W Whittemore of Pinehurst NC and was shipped in Feb 1919. What I ve found so far is that he was a golfer and won the Pinehurst Winter golf tourney with Walter Hagan in 1919 but I found a note that he won the National Am Trapshooting Championship at Travers Island in 1912. Originally from Mass he had a 30000 acre quail hunting lease in the Pinehurst area and this gun a 16 with 26 in barrels choked Cyl and mod is a fine bird gun. I am having trouble confirming his clay shooting as the Pinehurst gun Club records have been hard to track down. Any help is appreciated
