Interesting article. He also posed for a RayBan ad on page 8.Note his fore hand grip in that ad and on page 18.
He was an interesting guy. I read the article and he excelled at everything. Skeet, polo, building and driving dry lake speedsters (set a world record) and driving unlimited hydroplanes (retired a perpetual trophy by winning nationals three times in a row). His shooting buddies at Santa Monica read like a who's who of Hollywood stars in the late thirty's. One interesting ad in the latter part of the magazine was a 1963 ad for new barrels fitting Parkers and L. C. Smith guns. Came in 12-16-20 gauge in 26-28-30". They were sold by Atlas Arms in Chicago for $70 ($80 for ejectors). One more sobering ad was on page 11. This is June 1963. Klein's ad lists the 6.5 Carcanos on special at $19.99 complete with a 4X mounted scope. |

The 'original' Trap Comb appears to have been shaved a tad lower at the front and the placement of the leather mostly on the right side indicates to me it was likely made for a left-handed shooter.

The Monte Carlo stock looks like Parker or Remington did the work as I own a Remington gun and have seen a Parker gun with the M.C. stock. Both guns are over 200000, are DHE,and are 12 ga. I have seen leather applied in a similar manner but don't remember if it was a Parker.
