The first shotgun my Dad bought for me (1/18/1960 my 12th birthday) was a Stevens single shot 20 gauge with exposed hammer and the lever was on the right side of the frame. It was a light “boy’s” gun that kicked pretty hard and I didn’t like shooting it very much. But I shot a lot of pheasants, rabbits and ducks with it.
Then in late ‘61 I discovered a 12 gauge Trojan that had belonged to my best friend’s grandfather and I got that gun on loan until about the beginning of ‘65.
