Dick, I'm interested in your comment about Frank Wiseman being the "Father" of the 20th. Century Gun. By my rough estimate he would have been about two years old when Skimin & Wood introduced that model. David Baker says in the Fall 1992 issue of DGJ that the "20th. Century Gun" was the brainchild of Mr. Skimin and it was certainly being offered for sale by 1920. Perhaps Mr. Wiseman was having a 'senior moment"? Sort of like Ronald Reagan thinking that he had fought in the 2nd. World War.
