My first gun was a Remington Fieldmaster Model 121 .22 caliber s,l & lr (which I still heve) purchased by my Dad from S.B. McMaster Sporting Goods in Columbia, SC for my 6th birthday. With it I became a dead-eye in murdering empty beer cans. Not long after came a 16 gauge single barrel H&R which I soon traded for a Parker 10 gauge hammergun (which I also still have) along with a box of Super X shells. I later came to own his Fox Sterlingworth 12 gauge that he acquired thru McMaster (and which the research letter attests to) in the 1920's. That was the only gun, to my knowledge, that he ever owned in my lifetime. I had it completely restored before he passed & gave it back to him. My Dad was born in 1896 and served with General Pershing & Captain Patton on the Mexican Border prior to WW1 in the 11th Mounted Cavalry.
Best Regards, George
