I bought a DU print at an estate auction last weekend and can't find any information about it. The print is titled " Family Reflections " by Russ Duerksen. Image size is about 10 1/2 by 13 1/2 inches. Print is framed but not matted. Print is numbered 126/1000 and is dated 1994. Printing in the lower left corner reads;

Sponsored by Riddles Jewelry and Mount Rushmore Black Hills Gold
South Dakota Ladies DU Early Bird Print, published and copyrighted 1994
by South Dakota Ladies Ducks Unlimited Committee.

There is a scratch in the glass right behind the right hand gosling.

I can't find any information about this print. It doesn't seem that there are many prints for ladies DU. Is this something uncommon? Does anyone have any info on this print in particular or Ladies DU prints in general? For the record, I bought the print for $7.50.

Thanks for any help.

I sent the artist an email. We'll see what comes back.

I have a couple of their prints kicking about.
DU is really good at sending items out to their [local chapters] banquets and then they get bid on and the prices get driven up.
you can of course just buy the same stuff from their catalogue, but that doesn't raise money for the local chapter.

$40 a print from him so that was a good price!
