he was an exhibition shooter for Remington peters -- one of his trademarks was to shoot the silhouette of an Indian chief on to a tin target --- I am also interested in finding a picture of him---a couple of years ago I caught a news clip of him doing this on Daytona Beach in the 50's I would very much like to have a video of this. ddmccall@earthlink.net
My dad had a sporting goods store in 1952 where Ken Beegle shot the silhouette of an Indian chief on to a tin target from approximately 50 feet free-standing rapid fire with pre-loaded .22 caliber rifles. He signed it "Best Wishes to Williamson Sport Shop, Ken Beegle Rem-Pet 4/19/52". Every shot is an exact shot in line with the Chiefs feathers and facial features. I had it framed for my dad. I have often wondered the history of this excellent sharpshooter. bobwilliamsonar@sbcglobal.net
His name is actually spelled Beegle. (I'm named after him; he was my great-uncle, although I never met him.) There apparently is a video available: www.gunfighter.com/videos/files/products/fast-and-fancy. kbeegle55@comcast.net

This serial number was produced between 1936 and 1954 out of a total of 199,891 Model 121s produced.
A young mountain has steep sides. It also has sharp jagged peaks and narrow valleys. Older mountains are more rounded.
If it is in 100% new condition and unfired, it could be worth around $700.00.
Manufactured: 1947, value dependent on condition. I bought a model 121 fieldmaster brand new in 1954 and they were supposed to be the first hammerless pump . I do not know what year they originated but , now you know it was at least in 1954 or before . Wish I could pinpoint it better for you but you now have a jumping in point.
Of course it depends a lot on condition, originality, etc., but generally speaking you'll not see too many for less than $500, and some will be in the $750 -850 range. The Remington website lists years of manufacture for the 760 in 257 Rbts. as 1954-1961. There was a deluxe version, with a checkered pistol grip and forearm (as opposed to the smooth grip and groved forearm of the standard version) and sling swivels that will command a premium.
