Great neighborhood, that Detroit. I have a few Winchesters that came from the same neighborhood. Grosse Point Farms must be a good place to live. This guy was a GM big wig. My guns came from a gentleman who lived in a house (mansion) once owned by Harley Earle, the great, more than great, Buick designer. The fellow who owned my guns was not a GM guy, but was an oil guy from the Detroit area who owned a thousands of acres hunting preserve in Ontario. He had some kind of relationship with Harley Earle. My "Joe Knapp Club" Model 21 duck gun came from him. Apparently, some of the GM guys were great gun guys and hunters.
