I have no idea what happened to his Superposed....I guess I need to dig into the Hemingway's Guns book some more.

In recent years I've heard credible rumors that Hemingway's Superposed still resides not far from the Sun Valley area, and it continues to be carried in the field occasionally by an "Old Hunter"...

That is great! It stands to reason that Hem, or Mary would have given the gun to an old friend....or maybe a bartender.

I have read the date, but can't recall the year that Mary gave the lion's share of Hem's Idaho guns to Abecrombie and Fitch to re-sell. Those who bought them, many showing hard use, were not told the identity of the original owner. If they had, they would probably have saved them for future sale. Most are lost.

I am guessing that the gun that Chris alludes to never went through Abercrombie and Fitch after Hemingway's death. Bird hunters are a close knit group.

I agree. The fellow was probably given the gun and has kept it secret for safties sake. The old Superposed would be valuable and there is no tell'n what someone would do to get their hands on it.
