And too the Box Pigeons experts I have shot with beat the fact that the gun needs to be held almost vertical into us. So that pose looks a bit foreign to me?

Holt's Shooting Calendar of 1882 has a list of continental matches, including Monte Carlo, with a partial list the guns used; lots of Purdeys https://books.google.com/books?id=jN4RAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA77&lpgAlso Rules

Interesting. I see that Mr. Seaton was employing a Reilly C.F.(Central Fire??) as well as Mr. Cowan, then a Mr. Turner attempted with a Reilly but the >>C.F.<< was omitted? So what might >>C.F.<< denote?

C.F.B.L. Central Fire Breech Loader Generic Rules. I have not found Rules specific to Monte Carlo. 1914 Webley & Scott catalog repro with a list of Monte Carlo winners using W & C Scott guns 1883 - 1909. Interesting all the Italians using Scotts https://huntershouse.dk/files/webley-scoot/webley-scott-katalog.pdf

Again, just skimmin' but it appears the smokepoles were hammer/hahn versions as per the adverts( I acknowledge the Scott >>Monte Carlo<<)??? About what year did the Pigeon Thrashers transition and find favour with the A&D Body action or H&H sidelock?
