In 1977 Jim came to Iowa with a car full of fine guns,including one I still dream about:CHE 28 guage with 24" barrels and original A&F case. Bill Sisney ended up with it at the Rochester,Minnesota gun show.We owe the early collectors and dealers a great deal even though they may have erred and/or slipped a bit ethically. I had no money but I was fortunate enough to have an inquiring mind and no fear when it came to calling up someone on the phone when I wanted to clarify something.The CHE trap gun in Baer's book is one of Jim's guns and I took the picture not knowing it would end up published. Gun had quite a story behind it too.
