Rick, I think you should ask Jay Gardner for a high-res copy that he can email to you. You can then send it to a photography 'studio' (Staples, CVS, Walgreens) to have a print made.

I know David had Gilbert's B grade and that it was for sale.

I live in Spirit Lake, Iowa, the home of Fred Gilbert, Johnny Jahn, and Bob Allen- all three in the Trapshooters' Hall of Fame.
I too enjoyed the story on Gilbert. There is surprisingly very little play or even knowledge of Fred's accomplishments around here. The local county museum has a LC Smith that is basically a derelict parts gun that they pass off as a Gilbert gun- probably from his earlier days. There are some very fun writings around of his early days as a market hunter around here. I think most of the game was barreled up and shipped to Chicago or the Cities. |

Jeff, unfortunately, true research is rarely accomplished at the local level. Stay tuned here, and go on la84foundation's research site, use their search function, and learn. If it is a slow go, let us know and we will guide you.

A GREAT BIG thank you to Dean and the staff for a terrific issue. Makes the Christmas season a little more enjoyable. George's guns are exquisite. MERRY CHRISTMAS to all and may we all be blessed for the New Year in all ways imaginable. Jim
