Thanks, Researcher for the info on my dad's "Knickerbocker" 20. His father (My paternal grandfather) bought the gun for my dad when he was 10. He bought it from the person who was a championship trap shooter in Kansas. My dad shot that gun for his entire life and I never once saw him miss a single shot. He had it refreshed in the fifties sometime. It is a little care worn today. It is kind of stiff when I cock it. Bores are perfect and it is an old school 20 gauge shotgun, which is neat. My dad was a champion debater in college. He became an Army pilot in the War and flew in Pan American until he retired. He knew a million limericks. He ended up being a captain on the Seven fourty seven. He sang barbarshop. In short, he was a star, and so was my mother. She said that she never tried out for a part in a play when she didn't get the lead. They have been gone for a long time, but their memory survives.
