In my files I have noted Gilbert took delivery of a Parker SBT #180116... I think he was 54 years old in 1919 when he set the long run record. Have not found the date of the long run. I know it was before October of 1919

According to D. H. Eaton, "Trapshooting, The Patriotic Sport", Fred Gilbert set the professional long run world record of 591 (571 registered targets and 20 practice targets) July 29 to August 7, 1919.
