This gun was built for E.F. Woodward, a Texas oilman and top trapshooting champion of his day, in 1924. He said it didn’t shoot as well as his old high grade L.C. Smith, so he went back to the Smith. If you google his name, a lot of info will come up. Champlin had this gun for sale 5-10 years ago for $17K. Sandlapper
