It is a nice addition Jerry. It is a picture of how things were back in the 40's - very nice indeed.

Notice also the LOM case laying on the tailgate behind the Parker barrels. Could that be a A&F case?

The Parker is disassembled. The hand holding the barrels does not seem to be part of the person holding the rest of the gun. The finger on the trigger of a completely harmless disassembled gun bothers me much less than the other fellow who has a closed gun for a photo shoot. The dogs are a hoot and the car is a mystery. I hunt out of a Country Squire, so I understand the mystique of the "woody".

I don't like to take issue with Researcher on any matters, but all the Malone trousers I've seen are plain front, un-cuffed, have a slight taper toward the ankles and are cut a bit short to allow for boots/heavy shoes (see below); those in the photo look like pleated and cuffed dress tweeds to me, especially with that break over what appear to be cap-toed lace up oxfords.

Not to start a fashion discussion or anything .
