Widgeon Club's guns

[Researcher]

Edwin Hedderly, then editor of Western Field wrote extensively on his testing and waterfowling with long barrel small bore guns during 1911. He got some killer long barrel Parker small bores built especially for him with outrageously long stocks, in exchange for Parker Bros. advertising in his magazine. One of our members was working on transcribing all of Hedderly's material and publishing it, back before I retired and left the DC area, now over a decade ago. One of Hedderly's A1-Specials was pictured in Larry Baer's first book, page 26, and on the cover of the September 1966 Guns & Ammo.

I wish our member with all of the Hedderly research material would publish. It should be beyond interesting. I have a picture of Hedderly holding his 32" 16 gauge, but that is the extent of my research material.
