This is the original thread. Unfortunately, the image on p.3 was lost to the Photobucket fiasco

Mark,

I had a nice straight stock F grade Lefever in the 49000 range, on which the stock shield (in the usual location) was inscribed to show that the gun was 1st prize in a trap competition, awarded to a competitive shooter named E. W. Arnold, who scorched the trap shooting circuit between 1905 and WW I. I am sure there were a number of competitions where LACo and ammunition companies were sponsors or co-sponsors and provided prizes during this era. My prize gun had a live bird configuration, i.e. without a safety.

Crap! How could I get it wrong?

Can you see my red face from where you are?

I never was good at counting.

Thanks for the correction.

Maybe blue it so its not so prominent?


Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?

I vote to remove it and if you have it cased install it inside the case or on the top.
I have a friend who owns a 1900 Purdey pigeon gun. Inside the lid is cards and information on everyone who has owned it. So neat!
