Last month, Federal Premium named lifelong collector David "Doc" Frederickson its Honorary Historian at the 144th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Nashville, Tenn. The company awarded Frederickson with a custom-made trophy, and a new video spot details its creation.

Federal has actively assisted in Frederickson's cataloging over the decades, forwarding along new packaging, new ads and new records as they've become available. Frederickson has long been considered part of the company's extended family, and Federal cemented that with its presentation. Get a look at the award—and learn more about Frederickson's collection—right here.
