Ornate Shooting Trophy

[Dean Romig]

I donated a book to the Silent Auction last year in Louisville which was the "History of Trap Shooting in Missouri from 1887" or some such title. In any case, there were some great pictures of awards and trophies in that book with the names of the shooters to whom they were awarded. Maybe the buyer of that book will step forward and possibly answer some questions.

RD, That would be a great Cabinet photo, I'd like to see it sometime... I also have a few original images of Kelsey... If memory serves, Frank as a young boy was a drummer during the Civil War conflict, and he continued to be a high percentage shooter well into his later years... As for Jack Fanning's Parker Try/Gun, I know where it is...

Best, CSL

Gents,
With regards to the Forest & Stream "ornate shooting trophy" shown at the beginning of this thread, Some folks might enjoy taking a close look at their 2010 Parker Pages Summer issue and be pleasantly surprised with what they find on the front cover...

Best, CSL
