The Parker Pages made it to Colorado today! I need to rest up from dove hunting before I open it.

Elliott Skeet gun
Dean, enjoyed the article on the find of John Ellioitt`s skeet gun... Could he be the brother of the famous Elliott family that started Elliott`s shooting park in Kansas City? J.A.R (Jim) the great live bird shooter, Robert S. (Uncle Bob) and Dave came west to Kansas City in the late 1880`s. I know they had a brother named John who never joined the venture. I believe John had a son
Jack who did come west to help in the family business... Best regards Trap3 |

It's not for sale Russ. The owner and I covered that possibility quite thoroughly in our first meeting.
The floor plate is the cover photo. I only wish I had realized the quality of the picture wasn't up to my standards before I returned the gun. .

Randy, there is no family relation between the two.
J. A. R. Elliott and John Elliot spell their names differently. .
