Just found this pdf archive of Sporting Life
http://www.la84foundation.org/SportsLibrary/SportingLife/

This issue from 1902 mentions most of the c. 1900 'Big Shots' including A.H. Fox then shooting for Winchester. Anyone heard of a Fulford's Single Trigger for Parker, Smith, and Remington guns?

This is off the topic, but here is another picture for Drew, a New Era, that appears to be a Syracuse Arms Co. gun, not a boxlock Baker --



This is from The American Field, April 20, 1901.

Dave, that's the only early 1900's gun I've ever seen that has the rear of the receiver, where it meets the stock cheeks, angled. And here I thought BSS's and their copies had the market cornered on that particular feature.
