He won the top OWAA award in 1958 - the second year it was given out.

If anyone here has any information on this gentleman - I'd love to hear from you.

LA84 Foundation is much too old for Henry P. Davis references. I believe he wrote for American Field and other dog publications primarily. Google is full of Henry P. Davis dogs references. He knew something about bird guns also. I still have an American Field where he advertised a Model 21 16 gauge skeet gun for sale.

Henry P. Davis wrote the forward to Nash Buckingham's "Blood Lines". What is the configuration of the gun you are researching. I remember the little Parker bird gun with the beavertail forend. Is this the gun you have?
