Because of the generousity of various collectors, I am the owner of three of John Phillip Sousa's guns, including the mysterious Lindner Daly Diamond Grade single trap that he used by Sousa on the trap line before obtaining the famous Ithaca grade 7 that was the model for the Ithaca Sousa Grade incorporated into the Ithaca catalogs into the Knick period. This gun was described in a Double Gun Journal article. Sousa's F (Premier Grade) Model 10 Remington was described in a Remington Collectors Journal article. When I get my documentation together on Sousa's Lindner Daly Diamond Grade pigeon gun, I will prepare an article on this great gun. These guns will not be donated to the Sousa exhibits in the near future because they are in regular use as they were when JPS was alive.
