That is my Great Uncle Remer standing next to the rack. I have vague info he owned an A-1 Special and it would be something if that was it.

Great pics Mills. Are they shooting over old rice fields?

Yes, they had a rice field drained for the course.

Very nice old photos. Don't you wish sometimes you could go back?

I would have guessed the pictures were taken just after WWII. The brim of the hat is a clue as are the khakis. Great pictures! I would tear your Uncles house down looking for the A-1 Special.

I would tend to agree Harry. That brim is not the wider brim associated with the thirties, IMO.
No offense intended Mills. .

the middle one looks more like a pump to me
far right looks like a Parker -i can see the shadow of the hinge pin in the second from the right i don't see a forend latch, it looks like a snap on type - maybe a Sterlingworth?

A Remington "Sportsman, a Remington Model 11 (or maybe a Browning A5), a Remington Model 17, a smallbore ejector Fox with the snap-on/-off forearm and a Parker. Note the two-piece shell boxes sitting above the Remingtons. Winchester, Remington, and Western all transitioned to one-piece boxes around 1933-4 while Peters continued with two-piece boxes into the later 1930s.
