OK, Herr Adler Augen-- from just looking at that image, I'll grant that one might verify, by the frame shape, "carriage bolt" with dished out radiused recess, but 2 queries-if I may: (1) How do you discern that is a VH (extractor) and NOT a VHE- same gun, but not an extractor gun, but equipped with selective ejection, and also the gauge? Hummm?? Der Fuchs

That "may" be a shotgun, but that's about it for identification.

Jack and his wife also owned Ithaca NIDs.

When O'Connor retired, he sold off guns to take vacation trips around the world with his wife.

Among quite a few other guns. Hill also wrote about a short barreled Greener that he owned. Although I heard he didn't shoot it all that well.

A thread about Gene Hill's Hussey

About 5-10 years ago the then owner of Gene Hill's hammergun let me shoot a pair on the five stand at a nice club in West Virginia. I broke the pair and handed it back to him. He insisted that I shoot it some more but I turned him down. I told him that I was afraid I'd miss!

When Gene Hill and Michael McIntosh visited MI with Brian Belinski on a promo trip for Orvis, the manager of the nearby Thornapple Orvis shoppe arranged for me to take Gene Duck hunting of a Sat. morning, lunch later. My Lab Dixie was in her prime, I shot a Model 12, Gene had his Remington 12 gauge 1100- one of my favorite spots, lots of mallards, we had a fine hunt, and chatted between flights. I told him that of all his many great stories, my 2 favorites were: "The Stranger" and "Pepper"-- I still have pictures of myself, with Gene and Brian and Michael on the front porch of the Orvis shoppe in Ada, MI--I have all of his books, which he personally signed for me. A sportsman like Gene Hill never wears out a welcome-never. RWTF
