Here are a couple of pictures of Gary Cooper hunting with Papa in Sun Valley from the book High on the Wild with Hemmingway. From 1940 without glasses -- From 1941 with glasses --

Marlin made a special Skeetking version of their Model 90 OU in all gauges from 12 down to .410. And Remington, as noted above, offered their Model 32 OU as a skeet gun. 12ga only.

Is that a female with hair that long back then? Also, if female, is that a mustache she/he has??? Not making crude jokes. I may just have a bad picture or bad resolution on my computer. Just wondering. Perry M. Kissam NRA Patron Life Member
