Ran into another image which unfortunately is undated. His appearance is similar to the 1914 pic Randy posted on the previous page.
 No way to ID the double from that angle  Loblolly Pine in the background? Pinehurst?

Hard to say with 100% certainty. It looks like it may be the 20 gauge Field Grade FW held in the collection. His left hand appears to be wrapped around a splinter type forend. Also, the barrels look like they are a shorter length. The 20 gauge in the collection has 26" barrels.
Great picture. Never seen this one before, thanks. |

Drew, I have another gun that is probably a Sousa gun. It is a boxlock Prussian Daly Diamond Grade with a white frame like the one in the picture, made about 1897 according to a fellow Daly collector. Obviously, the one in the picture does not have an exposed hinge pin. I'm always looking for more pictures. Sousa, like Annie Oakley, posed for a very limited number of shotgun pictures.

Dean, JPS was not a high average shooter, but he did have his good days. Sort of like us. He also had some nice guns, sort of like us. In my next article on Sousa's guns, I will present the provenance for the Diamond Quality Prussian Daly pigeon gun.

Bill, in which publication should we expect to read your article?

I will submit to the Double Gun Journal if I get my provenance in order. I was very satisfied with the Cote treatment of my first Sousa article about his Prussian Daly Diamond Grade Sextuple Trap. Unfortunately, they refused to publish my article on Sousa's Remington Model 10-F because it was a pump gun. The Remington Society of America Journal published the 10-F article and it was a wonderful presentation. If someone will tell me who owns the Sousa AAHE, I will be glad to prepare an article for the Parker Pages.
