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?

Cant tell from whats shown but I sure would liked to have shared a hunt with them.

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.

the gents gun lever is at center when the gun is opened, so not a parker ,fox or Ithaca .

The gun on the left looks like possibly a fox.

Dave is right about the Greener cross bolt with a small doll's head. The safety looks like a bumblebee type like on a Prussian Daly. I'm at a loss for the lady's gun, looks like a straight extension rib. Have we seen that gentleman before?

No question in my mind that these are solid citizens.
Everything is composed about the couple. The guns are open at the breach for the safety of all present; and the of the mien of the gent leads me to believe that I could trust him with my health, security, or money.

My guess is simple---they are both doubles !!! I hunted in the 40's & 50's , never dressed like that !!! Rather poor, but hunted with a Partker, that I still have.

But you weren't their age in the 40's and 50's. I'll say the 30's at the very earliest - no earlier though.
