Gary, I'm not sure when or who Whelen gave his rifle to but I don't think it's in "Mister Rifleman". The rifle surfaced for a couple days about a year ago and the vanished again. I think I know where it is but not positive.


The Roosevelt rifle pictured below lost to fire was 20 gauge-25-35.

SDH: This gun has the same Hiawatha theme as Daryl’s Adolph shotgun you wrote about.

Gary, one of my grandfathers had a Belgian (Peiper) Cape gun that he carried on several trips thru Panama to Columbia (he was a geologist who specialized in finding water in places where there wasn't any). It was a .44-40WCF (marked .44 Largo, which is the Spanish name for the WCF) x 2" .410. He always called it his "vampire bat gun." Not sure what he actually used it for; maybe he liked it because he always carried a top break S&W DA .44WCF. I've used .444 Marlin cases to make the .410 shells--loaded 'em with black powder. .410 tube is cylinder bore.
