Researcher, neither of my 20 gauge traps have any connection with the Dupont Shooting School. A fellow you and I know owns a third 20 gauge Parker single trap and I know nothing about the history of his gun. I don't know who owns #4 and #5.

Wasn't a certain (1 of 1) 18 gauge Parker associated with the Dupont Shooting School ?

I remember the article on the 18 gauge, but I don't remember what connection it had.

Jeff, Tendler's Sales, 913 D Street Northwest, now under the FBI building. Griffith Stadium was a bus ride from Rockville to the District line, then a short trolley ride down Georgia Avenue to the stadium. The whole trip was about 35 cents in the fifties. Most of the time, I would go to the stadium with my dad, but occasionally, I would bus it and meet him there.
