A Success Story
Henry Heggen, The Trophy Man
Many have come and gone since
the early days in Kodiak—where
they are now is anybody’s guess.
Some, however, we do know of.
One such is Henry Heggen of the
Trophy Shop in Anchorage. Heg
gen came to Kodiak October 21,
1941, just a few weeks before
Pearl Harbor was bombed, as a
sign painter in the maintenance
shop at the Naval Station.
Heggen says — one of the most
interesting jobs he ever handled
was the plotting map (still in use
at what was then called the ‘Com
mand Tower’)—starting work on
the map the first week in May 1942,
and putting the finishing touches

on it 45 minutes after the first
bomb fell on Dutch Harbor in
June 1942.
After leaving Kodiak Heggen
worked at the Sitka Naval Station
and several Alaska cities finally
locating in Anchorage in 1946 —
where he now has one of the larg
est trophy shops north of Los An
geles.
Heggen prides himself in a per
sonal touch he gives to all his tro
phies. This factor more than any
other is perhaps the reason for the
rapid growth of the shop. He in
vites visitors to Anchorage to come
in to his shop where there are al
ways a lot of new strictly original

from several of the world’s largest
trophy manufacturers.
Celebrating the 20th anniver
sary of his arrival in Alaska, Heg
gen unveiled what he considers the
only truly Alaskan trophy ever
produced—with a real cedar totem
pole and appropriate sports figures
added. “There can be little doubt
where anyone has been who has
such a trophy among his collec
tion,” Heggen stated.
“Pop”, as Heggen has become
best known in Anchorage, when
not talking trophies, is always glad
to talk about his son Russ, a former
Navy Electronics man, now an
Electronics design engineer in
California.
“I’ll always have a warm spot in
my heart for the Navy who did for
my kid wihat I never could have
done myself,” Heggen says—“giv
ing him a hundred-thousand-dollar
education for free, and teaching
him to keep his shoes shined.”
