Default If you had to guess...

If you had to guess, what make shotguns are they holding? Don't know myself but both seem to have a dolls head and thinking they could be Parker's. Thoughts?

Hunting with a setter they must be Parkers.

The one on the left appears to have a raised rib like some LC Smiths. The one on the right looks like a Fox to me. But I very well may be wrong.

I agree with you Reggie on the one the gentleman has. The vertical extension looks Fox-ish while the lady could be holding a Trojan... maybe.

I've seen their faces before... can't place them though.

The dog looks like my Speck Broke on wild birds The last dog I will ever do that on. Im sorry to say. Finished his 16 th season on pen birds. At least I was wise enough by then to take plenty of pictures of him. Others Ive owned I don't have any pictures of. Those were the days When down south It was birds !

Judging by the dress of both of them, the collar of his shirt almost looks like a button-down oxford, the hats, his vest beneath his shooting jacket, the rubber pacs, their age - too old at the time of the pic for military service, the type of tire tread marks in the road, I'm going with mid 40's to very early 50's.

Great picture. The Gent looks to me to be holding a gun with a Greener cross-bolt. My guess is a Husqvarna 310.
