Gene Van Guilder is shooting his Ithaca NID 12 gauge- Papa the Browning 12 with DT and solid rib he won in a European Live Bird shoot -awarded by John Browning's eldest son- Val -- about 1932- he beat out Ben Gallagher in a 100 bird event- I believe they shot box released birds-

Later on, Papa with the W&C Scott 12 bore live bird gun he bought used in Italy about 1948-- took to Africa, Sun Valley, Cuba- in about 1960 he had A&F remove the sling swivel fittings- this was the shotgun Papa used to end his life in July 1961-- Not a Boss doublegun, as some had reported. RWTF
