My best estimation of the gun L.L. is holding is an American Arms Co. semi-hammerless single barrel. The cocking lever is on the left side.
Eddie Bauer went the same way once it was part of General Mills. Not like it was from the 1930s into the 60s.

We both had Eddie Bauer Heavy Duty extra large goose down sleeping bags that zipped together!! |

Here is L.L. circa 1911, along with the store as it looked in 1934.

As a retired Museum Curator, this thread got me thinking about the gun and its specifics and history.
I wrote to L.L. Bean asking if they have a company Historian, and would they be willing to share information about it. I'll update if I hear anything back and share what they say about it. |
