sounds like a wonderful article.

[C.O.B.]

George the "Hollywood Gun" is a GHE 16ga skeet gun on a #1 frame. Its a late production gun 1941 I think. The gun is a two bbl set both being 28 inches, one choked skt/skt the other M/F. Both bbls have their own BTF and vent ribs. A straight stock and SST rounds out the options. The gun went to Alex Kerrs in Hollwood and the engraveing was redone in a much finer and more elaborate style than a std GHE and the birds were done in gold and the background stippled to bring them out. With it's connection to Kerrs a dealer in Hollywood, Ca it gets it's name "The Hollywood" gun. It's a go to gun for me on the clays course.
