Sounds very nice. Wouldn't that be nice at about 6lb., 12oz. on a 1-frame?

It was consigned to Fred Gilbert in 1896 possibly after he won the first "American E. C. Powder Company Trophy Emblematic of the World’s Championship at Inanimate Target Shooting" using a Smith, but he apparently didn't use it in competition until after the 1899 GAH. I've contacted David Trevallion for pics.
In the fall of 1901 he took delivery of his DH. ![]()

Hey, enuf with the insider alphas- I found out from Dean that TTT means: To The Top (of what? Old Smokey??) and NOT Two-Two-Train-- Let's not confuse either old Gyrenes or our new members (we have some, great--) with insider info- if TPS stands for "Tender Partridge Sandwiches" (cooked, no doubt, in some of Burton Spiller's Pa'tridge Shortenin') then let's say so- Wot In Hell is a TPS? I for one would like to know!!

Well, if it was consigned to Fred Gilbert it certainly wouldn't be a light 1-frame unless he was an upland shooter too.
One of these days I'm going to drop in to the Lobster Pound for some "bugs and brew" with David. . Last edited by Dean Romig; 07-15-2010 at 05:02 PM.. |

Dean, our friend DT, being a gunsmith, will expect you to pay. Be careful.

I believe there was an article about it in Shooting Sportsman a couple years ago.
