Default A Woody..Bird dogs..and a Parker !!

Found this photo in my collection of "stuff". Look at the hinge pin on the gun on the left. The Woody looks like a Plymouth..from the edge on the rear fender..

Look at the rolled edge on the back fender..very typical Plymouth of the late 30s. Notice the built-in dog boxes ?

Look closely at the left hand of the Parker man.

Yup, he's a prop. He has no clue where that forend should go. Plus he's got the finger of his right hand firmly on the trigger.

It is a nice addition Jerry. It is a picture of how things were back in the 40's - very nice indeed.

Notice also the LOM case laying on the tailgate behind the Parker barrels. Could that be a A&F case?

The Parker is disassembled. The hand holding the barrels does not seem to be part of the person holding the rest of the gun. The finger on the trigger of a completely harmless disassembled gun bothers me much less than the other fellow who has a closed gun for a photo shoot. The dogs are a hoot and the car is a mystery. I hunt out of a Country Squire, so I understand the mystique of the "woody".
