Couldn't find a quote about SAs for quail. He did have 2 12g semiautos; a Winchester 59 and a Remington

Robert Ruark's Christmas present from the "Old Man" was a 16g Sauer

which he was still using in Africa

So Robert Ruark judges a shooter's manhood by the size of the shotgun gauge he uses, huh? Well, I've got news for Robert Ruark- I've never shot a .410 in my life. And I wear a pin on my shooting hat that says, "I shoot like a girl!" 😆

Found this image of Ruark on the PGCA forum, unfortunately uncaptioned, with a straight stock small bore Parker. Possibly a Trojan, but only 2 28g Trojans were manufactured.
It could of course have been a borrowed gun

Add to the list of unfortunate choices John Taintor Foote, author of "Dumbbell of Brookfield" and "Pocono Shot"

I would pay money to see Jonny on a bicycle trek for lowcountry woodcock.
