I've saw his medals and vaguely remember the story in the Memphis Commercial Appeal. It was in the World Olympics in the 1970's I believe he also won medals in the original Flintlock pistol competition. His name is Ed Mason another Memphis Gunsmith competed also, Mr. HySmith.


Joe, it either exists or it doesn't (or didn't). Maybe you can do better than I can, but I could not find any flintlock pistol category in Olympic competition. Could be your friend won a medal in pistol shooting, but I'm skeptical that it was flintlock pistol.
