One of the famous Edwin L. Hedderly, Editor of
Western Field magazine, A1 Specials was pictured on the cover of the September 1966 issue of
Guns & Ammo in its well used condition --
The gun in its "freshened" condition is shown in color in Larry Baer's 1974 book on page 23 and in black & white his 1976 book on pages 76 and 77. IMHO it lost much of its charm.
