Dean - I don't think its an Elsie but I admit that I am not good at identifying guns from photos. Here are some others which may show it clearer. In at least one you can see a vent rib? It's a big gun, perhaps 10 ga? I've scanned through the book and see no mention of guns, gauges or loads. This book was published in 1939 nd he referred to several years of "research" leading up to his writing of it.
