Another Lumbard & Gable Photo.

[Mike Stahle]

I so wish I could find a better quality picture of this one.
I would like to make out what kind of dog and gun is in the picture.

Yes I know who the people are George.
I'm interested in the gun and dog in the
picture.

It looks like it has a Poly-Choke so I don't think it is a SXS.

Wasn't Gable fond of Model 12's? Or was that Hemingway?

[Dean Romig]

Hemingway for certain.

Carol has the poly-choke arrangement here. Clark has some SxS, it seems. A succesful day it appears.

At the time of his death in 1960 from his fourth heart attack his gun collection was valued at one half million dollars. He had a dedicated gun room in his home that housed his collection of gold inlaid Colt's, big game rifles and shotguns. Carol Lombard was killed along with her mother in a plane crash during WWII while traveling to help sell war bonds. Gable enlisted as a Private but rose to the rank of Major by war's end. To read more of them Google "Clark Gable gun"

Mike,

I think it was the spelling of "Lombard" he was referring to (re: your thread title)

Not a Poly-Choke on Carol's Humpie but a Cutt's Compensator.
Gable appears to be carrying a vent rib Parker but can't tell for sure. I can definitely see what looks like a post-1917 safety switch, a BTFE and a top rib with an angle that suggests a vent rib. His gun is very high-stocked too so may be a trap gun. Did he shoot trap?
