Gary's Gun...

[Kent Nickerson]

Picture removed Not up to standards.

Gary Cooper with his Parker, shooting with Hemingway, Howard Hawks and
Ingrid Bergman.

[OH Osthaus]

you would think they would have had the foresight to get some decent close ups

[Dean Romig]

Maybe these??

I think I read somewhere the Parker on the workbench in the next to last picture with the BTFE was/is a BHE. It looks like it has a vent rib with twin ivories.

Read somewhere that Gray Cooper was known as a poor shot, because his movie contract said he could not wear glasses in public and contacts were not around yet.

Interesting..... He's not wearing glasses in any of these pictures and those roosters are believers that he's at least a fair shot.

I once saw a photo op picture of John Kerry, when he was a presidential candidate, carrying a gun and water foul he purportedly shot. Remember, not all you see is as it seems, especially when Hollywood or politicians are involved.

Well, at least it was a Purdey and not a lowly American-made gun.

Top picture with the roosters the gun looks like a Remington 32.

In the picture with that other guy the gun looks like the profile of a Winchester 21.

I think the other "guy" is E. Hemingway.
