Clark Gable & Carole Lombard Hunting.

[Researcher]

Ahh... I'm sure Mr. Barrymore has a Fox SPE-Grade Skeet & Upland Game Gun there!

[Old and Reliable]

Wind has both Gable's trouser cuffs billowed and his hair askew- But somehow John Barrymore (being a tad downwind I suppose) looks fairly dapper. Can't speak for Barrymore's double as to exact make, but it is closed- Gable's semi-autoloader has the bolt locked back reward, as it should be.

Found a new image of Lombard's Smith which we're discussing on the LCSCA Forum, and this from the Oct. 1955 "Guns" magazine

[Fishtail]

I have a Browning that looks like that also.

Gable and Gary Cooper in Sun Valley. Looks to be the A-1S leaning against the car? Gable is holding a straight stock ?small gauge.

I held Clark Gables A1 Special while visiting
Ottis Odom in 1985, Mr Odom said there was a million dollars in Parkers in that room. I did not know much about Parkers at that time but he had a lot of small gauge
Parkers. HE said he was the best customer of the
Delgrego family getting Parkers fixed and upgraded.

There are quite a few pictures of Gary Cooper with that A1-Special up at Ketchum/Sun Valley hunting with Papa and the crew, in High on the Wild with Hemingway.

[Dean Romig]

Here are a few more of Gary Cooper, some with his A1S. The one laying on his bench is very likely the A1S.

Can anyone identify the vise Cooper has mounted on his bench?

[High Brass]

Found it. It's a Bisley Rifle Vice.
