Tom looks to be holding a VHE 28 gauge skeet but can't be sure. Have no idea on Mr. Days Parker. Somebody also mentioned a couple of 410 Parkers but I didn't notice any in the pictures. Maybe somebody will come forward and let us know!

John, picture number 5 from my initial post features Tom's two .410s. I think they are the top most gun and the third one down. I honestly don't remember which gun Bruce chose. He had so many nice ones, but we spoke most about our love of Bernard Steel 16s (he and I both have one).

Tom's .410s appear to be the second and third guns in picture number five. I believe Tom is holding one of them in another picture, his minty little skeet gun that we missed at Baltimore a while back.

Bill, I think you’re correct about the gun Tom is holding. I recall the figure in the stock. It was a single trigger/beavertail gun — a real treat to shoulder.
