I thought you guys might enjoy these photographs, seems like they haven't yet been posted. Didn't realize that I had any of the cases left, but found this one when cleaning up for some fix-up construction. I have also included a few shots of the actual shells that came from these cases. I hope I have just enough left to last me for my remaining turkey hunting days. They are being digested in one of Buckingham's big Beckers and do indeed do a good job on turkeys. A 19 1/2 pounder is the best to date. Too bad, I have shot up, given away, or sold most of what I had over the years. I think the case that sold recently was from the stash that I had the privilege to have purchased from Bart Cox. Yes, John Olin did send Nash any and all shells that he needed, gratis, many through Mr. Highsmith. Enjoy

Tom, did you visit the Bartholomew farm when you bought the guns or did Bart Cox ship them to you? When Bart sent me the sale list, I should have paid him a visit instead of crying over spilt milk. Bill Murphy

I am curiouse about a good many things and Nash's Burt Becker guns have always been one of them . Although I've not kept up with it the last 15-20 years .

Anyway I assume the #2 Becker Magnum and Nash's Becker 12 gauge quail gun are still known to exist .

I am curiouse has by chance BoWhoop been uncovered ?

I seem to remmember reading something semi recently that gave me the idea that someone was claiming to have found /uncovered it ?

They don't, I didn't even want to start that discussion. They belonged to a friend of Buckingham's, that's the only connection.

I was the guy who found the "secret gate" to 'Marse' Henry Bartholemew estate in Southern MD while cruising around aimlessly in a funk after driving to a firehouse gunshow and finding nothing. My buddy who lived across the river from his estate immediately nicknamed me "Marse" and I have jealously maintained it ever since. I know who the buyer in question was, who shot up the first of the two cases, and the guy who has the great picture album of the whole shebang, so I'm not interested in any of the stuff. When the time is right to divulge the history, provenance, and current location of the third "Bo Whoop", I will weigh in.

Bill and Kevin,

Last week I saw a very important part of what was to be Invincible #4...

Respectfully,
Mark

Kevin,

I know where that gun is too.

Mark,

I've seen that part.


All,

I ain't got nothing good but I know where a bunch of good stuff is apparently.
