sold at auctions yesterday for $71,700 and $83,650; her Parker shotgun brought $143,.000.
How many like me thought those lever actions were Winchesters and centerfire?

Marlin advertising has always proclaimed the connections with Little Sure Shot. Any gold medals or trophies she won, she would sell and donate the money to orphanages. Wonderful gal and a "Buckeye".

No surprise about the prices. She owned, used and shot all manner and brands of firearms. No doubt about it... an extremely talented shot and all self-taught, combining natural ability and necessity.
