It is indeed a great picture. I would love to find the picture of Mr. Gable Looking down the barrels of the double he is holding. (found it, posted below) Mike Last edited by Mike Stahle; 09-04-2010 at 08:43 PM.. |

OK, she's got a squareback Remington with a Cutts and Monte Carlo stock and Clark has the same Parker that he was shooting on the cover of a Parker Pages. It is obvious because of the Mershon pad and beavertail. I think it is a 20 gauge from the clearer image on the PP cover. I wonder if there are pictures of Carol L. shooting the DHE that she was famous for owning. I remember seeing the Carol Lombard DHE (corrected to say that this gun was Joan Bennet's gun, not Carol Lombard's) at an early NRA show in Washington, DC on Herb Glass' table actually advertised for sale at a payable price. I recall the price being $1250.00.

This got me curious, so I did some surfing. Gable and Lombard married in 1939, and she was killed in 1942 - so the picture was in October of '39-'41.
While searching, I learned that Lombard had a boyfriend killed in a gun accident. A search of Russ Columbo + death will bring it up. Fascinating. Murphy, you're old enough to remember when A-1s were available from the factory. |

I have to back up. The DHE I was describing is Joan Bennett's DHE, not Carol Lombard's. Is anyone able to compute the length of barrel or barrel diameter of the gun on the cover of PP?

The second is Clark with Elliott Ness aka/ Robert Stack. Two of my favorite actors.
Best Regards, George |
