The gun Tom is holding in that picture looks like a very high grade Remington to my eye. Maybe an EE-/EEO-Grade or a Remington Special?

If that picture of the lady holding the Parker is 1917, that is the Huntley pad. Sometime after WW-I they were absorbed by Jostam and it became the Jostam Sponge Rubber pad. They were still being offered in the 1949 Jostam catalogue.

The plot thickens Dave!
That photo at the ATA HOF is suppose to have been taken after his 1897 GAH at Live Birds victory using his Cashmore (with which he also won 1899) BUT Marshall thereafter was a U.M.C. rep. The 1904 Touring UMC Squad, included Marshall as Captain, R. O. Heikes, C. W. Budd, J. L. Head. T. E Hubby, W. H. Heer, J. T. Anthony, F. C. Riehl and E. D. Fulford; assisted by Frank Butler, and shot in 65 Southern Cities. The first five broke the five-man squad world's record by a score of 488X500 at Palestine, Texas.

This ad implies they all used Remington CEOs setting the 5 man record



Sadly, Fulford died from pneumonia Oct. 15, 1904

AND the U.M.C. squad and the DuPont/Winchester squad must have traveled together also - this pic is from 1905 with (left to right): Rolla Heikes, Jack Fanning, Unknown, Fred Gilbert, Tom Marshall (Captain), W.R. Crosby, W.H. Heer, Unknown



This is a good shot of what looks to be a Remington taken in 1912: Banks, Powers, Heikes, Gilbert, Crosby & Marshall from Sporting Life March 8 1913
