The large font suggests it was meant to be viwed from a distance like advertising...but advertising for what? Why would any maker place their name so large and in gold? ... I'll try to re-photograph at dusk and re-post.

Tom Marshall's Cashmore presentation gun courtesy of cc/dt BTW: the barrels look like Greener's 'Silver Steel' (laminated steel) Last edited by Drew Hause; 09/09/12 03:22 PM. https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

Drew and Eightbore, those times were when some people shot and others stood around in groups, some trying to see the guns others were holding and using. I am sure these folks had money to spend on guns and bets. http://www.bakercollectors.com/

A 26 inch 20 bore comes to mind, which clearly was not a live pigeon gun. In this case, maybe bragging rights?? Socialism is almost the worst.

No professional football (Rutgers and Princeton played the first college football game in 1869), no basketball, and professional baseball just starting to take off. Sporting Life did report on billiards, track & field, boxing, and bicycle road racing Westminster Kennel Club grounds, Long Island 1894 Monte Carlo Last edited by Drew Hause; 09/09/12 05:43 PM. https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home
