A Winchester 21 Trap grade I acquired from the estate of a distinguished Utah gentleman was ordered from Kennedy Brothers Arms Company of St. Paul Minnesota on 10/9/1941. If anyone knows if their records survived I would appreciate it. I am trying to fill in the blanks on this gun from 41 until I acquired it. A Cody letter does not say who it was ordered for, and the estate owner was not the original owner. I've posted a few pics of the gun and some of Kennedy Brothers.....wish I could go back in time and browse their merchandise at the time of these pics.

Gary,

Do you have a street address of the old store in Saint Paul? Any first names of the store owners?

I cannot find a street address...the store was operated by 7 generations of the family. Roger Kennedy, a family member, was the director of the National Parks Service, the National Museum, and served under 6 presidents. Roger was born Aug. 3, 1926 and passed away at 85 in 2011.

If the Kennedy Bros. guns fit in here, here's a quite nice one.
