A Fox (brand) shotgun once belonging to TR, and carried on his African safari, will be on display at the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum, from May 28, through at least the end of the summer.
The Jason Roselius Trust is loaning the artifact, said to be TR's favorite, which became the most expensive shotgun in history, when Roselius paid $862,500 for it in 2010.
Roselius was a graduate of Panhandle High School, and WTAMU, on whose campus the museum is located. He got a law degree from OU, and was practicing law in OKC. He died last January at age 48, trying to rescue his dogs from an icy pond.
