Frank Iwin was probably the famous "Tramp" Irwin, a trade representative for Laflin and Rand and also affiliated with the Sportsman's Review. He was a highly regarded live bird shooter at the turn of the century and thereabouts. He shot all over the midwest, obviously on someone else's dime. Search "tramp irwin" on la84foundation.com in the Sporting Life database and you will find pages of entries. Use the "text version" for color highlighted search results. There is also at least one reference about the time of the Parker order where he was mentioned as shooting a "new L.C. Smith". He apparently never met a sponsor he didn't like.
