Default Murphy

I volunteer to do a PP article on Murphy's guns. Perhaps it will be a series?

Hey, you wise guys, I have given you references to at least two articles, DGJ and Remington Journal, where two of the Sousa guns are pictured in quantity. Other of my guns are pictured in Kevin McCormack's Del Grego articles and some more in a pigeon gun article in another publication, don't remember the pub or the author, but Bill Wise was involved. I think it was SS.

I'd love to hear the provenance on that Daly trap gun.

Frank, I made a mistake, it is a Sextuple. Almost everyone has seen the widely printed picture of Sousa holding his Daly. It is often misidentified as his Grade 7 Ithaca Flues. Recently, I have found two more pictures of Sousa holding the Daly and one of him holding the AAH Parker. Those three pictures were accessed from the Library of Congress. I haven't received the prints yet, so I don't know what the quality is.

Yup, before I discovered these recent two pictures, the picture Drew posted was the only picture of Sousa with the famous Daly. At one time, I think Drew sent me a clearer version of this picture than I had at the time. Thanks, Drew.

I used to enjoy shooting at Quantico when I was stationed at the Pentagon. Most of my trigger time was spent over on Range Four the high power range shooting round targets. Fun but not the same as clay targets. If I'd have had my SC that would have been reversed.
