My 20ga Ranger isn't quite as nice as yours but it's been a good gun...

Same style RANGER marking as my mother's 12-gauge I began my bird shooting career with. Don't know when she got it, but she is holding it in the righthand picture here dated October 1934.

Looks like a sneak boat Charlie and it looks like that pic was taken at a duck club. There were a LOT of duck clubs back in those days. Most are just memories now. .

I know a Rice Lake in MN, but my guess is there are several.
