Stan, no ATA birds shot by your guy from 1928 to 1940. However, I located the original order for your gun. It was part of a John Boa order for the Grand American, that included 18 single trap guns as well as many NIDs. Beeson, from Tippecanoe City, Ohio, is the guy that received the guns near the site of the Grand, so Boa wouldn't have to transport them back and forth over the Canadian border. Boa was a Canadian and a volume Ithaca dealer. Many different people were mentioned in order #10575S, but Gegner was not one of them. Your gun was/is the last gun listed in the long list, my Sousa Knick was two guns before your 5E. Luckily, the final purchaser of my Sousa was included in the names mentioned in the Boa order. I hope all this is of interest to you.
