"Both" shooters behind the Ziegfeld girl don't have their breeches closed, only the fellow shooting the 31 has his breech closed. We'll never know about Carole Lombard's gun with the schnable forend until the gun surfaces. We do know it's not her DHE 20. I first saw the Lombard DHE in the late fifties or early sixties at the NRA convention at the old Wardman Park Hotel on Connecticut Avenue in Northwest Washington. It was on Herb Glass's table, and I assumed he owned it. Drew, I think the John Wayne pheasant picture doesn't represent an ejector hammer gun. When The Duke opened the gun, there was nothing in the chambers or coming out of the chambers. He was opening an empty gun as I see it. However, in the other pheasant picture, the gun did seem to "eject" the shell. Ejector hammer guns are so scarce, I have no explanation. That gun, with a plaque and a Mershon pad, was probably a prop gun or a gift to Wayne from someone who didn't have a lot of money to spend. This is a great thread.
