Robin Hood

[Bruce Day]

Robin Hood shotshells were made in Vermont. A box sold a couple years back for $1200.

Paper shotshells are readily available from Federal. Their 1 oz 2 3/4dram 12ga makes a nice target load. It would be little cheaper than shooting Robin Hood shells.

The Robin Hood company reps shot Parkers. These photos were posted here a few years ago.

I am not a shotshell collector nor a historian, and I'm sure others know much more than me, but the short answer to your question is "yes".

The 'Robin Hood' name disappeared in 1919. In my 40 years of collecting, I can recall two or three individual specimens for sale. There were a handful of companies in the late 19th century that were 'acquired' by the bigger outfits, like UMC, in the early 20th century. RH was one of, possibly, the very last independent ammunition manufacturer. I collect WRA Co. and UMC shotshells. They are more easy (spelled 'cheaper') to obtain than the short-lived outfits like RH. As Bruce said, Federal still makes paper, along with numerous loadings from RST.

The British nobility and landed gentry used Purdeys and Hollands. All the other Brits who carried and cleaned their own guns used Parkers.

Best,
