My first gun was a Stevens Springfield mod.84, too big so quickly followed a Marlin mod.100. The 84 was cut down for my sister who quickly lost interest. It now resides all redone with Chris Dawes' kids. The Marlin was given to a friends son who ironically is the great nephew of the man who gave the gun to my father for me. The first acquired in 1958. First shotgun was a J.C. Higgins .410 SS bolt, probably made by Marlin in 1959 and the first double was a Savage Fox mod. BSE in 1961. That gun resides with, a then boy who my father took under his wing at age 12 and is still my good friend today.
So I know where they are and am damn proud of their places in life. They represent a long history of family and friends.
