"The Parker gun which Phil Daly Jr. shot in the Grand American Carnival and won third prize, was one which he borrowed from A. W. Du Bray, the Parker representative.

James Malone, the winner of second place, shot a hard race, but luck was against him. His first barrel kills in the shoot-off were simply marvelous, many fast birds being doubled up without a flutter the instant the gun cracked. He used a Parker gun, weighing 7-15, 3 1/2 drams Schultze powder in U.M.C. Trap shells, 1 1/4 oz. 7 1/2 and 7 shot.

I wonder if the Parker Daly borrowed from duBray was his AA Pigeon T/A hammer gun?
