OK, here goes. Your shooter, L.H. Reid, shot on both sides of the purchase of the gun, I haven't determined how far before and how far after. Every year I researched, he was listed as a professional.

1916, shot 2740, broke 2603. 95.07 average

1917, shot 3460, broke 3364. 97.22 average

1918, shot 2130, broke 2079. 95.72 average

1920, shot 3920, broke 3747. 94.86 average

In 1914, Mr. Reid was high average professional in the country with a 96.44. I can't say much more than that. Your gun was in good hands. The next step is to find out who he shot for. My 1922 book shows his address, which I will post later.
