Single Barrel Trap Shoot

[FRANK HALSEY]

It would be alot of fun to have a trap shoot off with these older guns. I would be there in a heart beat. I collect sbts, so I would have to make up my mind which one to shoot. I do shoot my Parkers the best. Thanks, Frank

Frank, what makes are included in your single barrel collection? I have only Ithaca, Parker, and Fox, but am looking for a high condition Lindner Daly in standard doll's head style.

I talked to Rick Hemmingway this morning about the single barrel trap shoot, and he wants to have it. I will talk to him again and get some rules established. Would we want it conducted the the same as the Challenge? That is shoot off to establish the 5 person team and then teams compete against each other or just shoot and the top 5 shooters make up the team.

I'll post a notice on the LC Smith and Fox forums and see if they have interest. Cheers, Tom

I also sent a message to the Lefever email address but I cannot find any contact information for Ithica. Does anyone know if there is an Ithica organization? Cheers,Tom

This sounds great. I will have to make up my mind now. Oh, I know it will be a Parker. Can't wait. Please keep us in the loop. Thanks, Frank

I have the nomal Sbts. 8 Ithacas from 4E to 7E (no Sousa yet) in Flues (best engraving, I think) and Knickbockers, Fox K model, Parker in SC & SB, 2 Charles Daly-Lindner Diamonds, 1 Charles Daly-Linder Empire, Baker, 6 Browning in all grades, James Purdey Sbt (2nd one built) and some I can't remember right now. Bill, I hope to see you at the fall s x s and we can talk about Sbts. I love them. Thanks, Frank

Frank, I just bought a nice Purdey double oak and leather trunk case for a double gun and a single. The serial numbers are 23,633 and 23,697. I don't know which one is the single barrel. How do they compare to your number? I didn't have a pair of Purdeys to put in it, but a 32" English trunk is so hard to find, I couldn't pass it up. I decided to case a nice Super Fox and a high condition J Grade in it. You can imagine how good they look.

The J. Purdey Sbt I have is #22429. I know what you mean about Purdey cases. I have a couple of older Purdeys and I wanted a the right years for the case to match the guns. I did it but it was not easy. 3 years of looking at alot of auctions and ads. Thanks, Frank
