We found ten Lancaster shotguns and rifles made for Annie Oakley in the Charles Lancaster ledger books. Most had been returned for refurbishment at least once. Oakleys use of Lancaster guns and a testimonial letter from her were marketed by the firm.
Does anyone have the stock dimensions of Annie's guns (Parkers?)
The reason I ask is that I own a gun that was allegedly used by Annie when she visited a friend here in England, shooting Game.
Now I know many gunmakers proclaimed Annie used there products because of her celebrity status.
My interest is in trying to tie in the gun with the particular estate where she visited. My gun was I believe manufactured in 1906 and it is my belief Annie was still visiting here up until 1920.
Any help with information about Annie Oakley would be greatly appreciated.
