Designed by Winchesters John Olin to be the strongest double gun in existence


From the Field & Stream text on Eisenhower's Model 21. Fake news by the mass media!! The Olins didn't yet own Winchester when the Model 21 was designed. Pretty much the work of Frank Burton and Louis Stiennon, building on early work by and under the direction of T.C. Johnson.

Youz guys are so smart, here's a hard one, and I don't have the answers

Calvin Coolidge on Sapelo Island, Georgia in 1925 with his host Howard Coffin. Looks to be a deer in the wagon, and a dour Calvin has a long barrel double



Sapelo Island c. 1927 with Colonel Latrobe with a short barrel double





AP Sept. 6, 1928 file photo him shooting trap with a Model 12 at his vacation home on the Brule at Superior, Wis. He scored 29X37.



What are the doubles, and where are the guns now?

I don't know about the guns, but that's a hell of a hat. He might shoot better with it tipped back a might bit.

Thanks- so "Fully Optioned" would also be an accurate description?? RWTF- still haven't guessed the make, model and gauge of the 2 triggered double with the schnabel styled forearm Carole (Not Carol) Lombard is holding in the SD pheasant hunting foto 1935-- Any ideas from your end???

Yup- and Old "Silent Cal" has the stock comb waaay down below his jaw line-- the old "Head-up" shooting style many clays and live bird and game shots used prior to WW1--Don't think of Cal as being a smile-maker-- he always looked like he put pickle juice on his Wheaties at breakfast-- Talk about your "Hands-off" POTUS-- RWTF

That bottom end speaks Baker model 1897.

John


That is what I've always thought, but no one in the family could recollect such a gun?

2 special Parkers. Bill & Dean will know

This is thought to be William Harnden Foster's son, shooting Foster's Parker - gauge and grade?



What is special about this not-plain-ol' Trojan?

Didn't William H. Foster shoot a 28 gauge Parker for grouse and woodcock- and possibly for his "Shooting Around The Clock" clay target games that late became skeet?? RWTF
