Interesting article about Charles Albert “Chief” Bender
http://philadelphiaathletics.org/chief-bender-a-marksman-on-the-mound-and-in-the-traps/
I've been looking for a larger image of him holding the double without success, but the gun sure looks to have a silver rib inlay, and I am not aware of any other U.S. maker that used that rib treatment.
Bender was a shooting rep for DuPont and Winchester, and worked in the Boston Winchester store after retiring from baseball. Scroll down to the bottom here
