Unfortunately I failed to document the source of that newspaper clipping. I think it was the Minneapolis Star Tribune regarding Sophrona Johnson

Annie did not compete at the GAH at Targets at Interstate Park

Holding a double at Pinehurst in 1919 but I can't ID the gun



Another unidentifiable double

The clipping with Annie holding a Parker, supposedly at the 1902 Live Bird shoot is a reversed negative, although that doesn't hinder the identification of the gun. I would like to see the original clipping.

Duncan Curry was a sports writer for the New York Journal and Advertiser

but the Library of Congress digitized archives end in 1901

The articles were probably carried by other Hearst papers

Reverend Drew, I would be very appreciative if you could find the source of that 1902 clipping. It is as close as I've come to seeing a picture of Annie with the Gold Hearts Gun. The original picture may give us more of a clue. I am going with the Minneapolis Tribune some time after the 1902 Grand at Live Birds, which ended April 5, 1902. However, I'm having trouble accessing the paper because of my poor internet skills. I sent you a PM. I hope you got it. Thanks.
