I nought a flat of these --
Pigeon Load 01.jpeg Pigeon Load 02.jpeg Pigeon Load 03.jpeg Pigeon Load 04.jpeg when Morris first introduced them, but I've only lived here twenty years so I'm not well enough vetted here to get an invitation. Guess they will go to Wards when I'm dead. I'm still looking for a box of Western Cartridge Co.'s Super-X, 3-inch, high velocity, Lubaloy Pigeon load they offered from February 1929 -- February 1, 1929, bottom of page 17.jpeg to May 4,1949 -- May 4, 1949, Super-X Lubaloy, Pigeon Load highlighted in red.jpg |

Todd, interesting post, regarding the names on the scorecard ....... I've shot flyers with Scotten a few times at Broxton Bridge in SC, and recognize Bonillas, though I never shot with him.

Destry and I shot box birds twice at the Philadelphia Gun Club overlooking the Delaware River. Most fun I ever had with my clothes on.

Shooting trap over the Detroit river at the Bayview yacht club requires that you shoot steel shot

Todd, I've been every lucky as my kid brother has collected "Live Pigeon" Guns for the last 35 years and we shoot them on a regular bases. He was international pilot hence in Europe on regular bases. My two favorites are a Lefever and hammered Jefferys (only 1 of 6) which has a usual history. Funny side note, he offered to bring his collection to the Whittington Center in New Mexico for display with one stipulation (insurance policy at replacement value) and they wouldn't not agree to his request.

My pigeon gun collection started when my uncle REAed me my grandfather's dedicated Lefever E Grade pigeon gun around 1958. The gun had been inactive since granddad's death in 1929. He closed his pigeon ring in 1927. My latest pigeon gun is a Daniel Fraser steel barrel hammer gun. I have not seen another like it.
