I vote for a Rem 31. Mine has a forehand that closes to the end of the magazine tube as shown. My M12 forehand closes well short of the end of the tube. Those are my only guns with single barrels until I find the right single barrel trap gun.
I've also got the correct vest and hat, but alas not the dogs!

I don't know which pump that is but I sure recognize the mood of the dogs!
I am glad to be here.

I thot of a Remington 17 [first glance impression] or a 31. Have not bothered trying to enlarge it .. no point. It certainly captures the moment before going afield and good bird dogs, irrespective of breed or breeding, KNOW what's going on and about to happen.
The particular art form & even the dress depicted may have gone out of style, but the happenings remain the same, thankfully.
In many ways the quality of a man's life may be measured by the number of good dogs he is allowed to associate with.

The new DGJ has an A.L. Ripley picture called "A Perfect Day" on pages 6 & 7; it looks exactly like a cover I used to hunt years ago with my dad, and I put up a good many of those shocks back in the day, when the farmers paid a dollar an hour or 25 cents a shock, whichever was less! Some good artists painting good pictures today (Chet Reneson, Eldridge Hardie, Pete Corbin and Rod Crossman come to mind) but none that I know of that are producing the lovely "magazine illustration" style of Fuller and others. Take a look at Drew's website if you want to see more.

Pretty detailed picture of that pump. Those other pics Drew posted reminded me of that show on the History channel about the dogs used during World War Two. That one crusty old vet with tears in his eyes saying so many years later, "Not a day goes by without me thinking about that dog"
