I agrre-and any man with the class and taste to be afield with three fine pointing dogs would eschew the lesser quality pumpguns of that era and opt for the "Perfect Repeater"- small pg and perch bellied buttstock would date it to pre 1935 M12, can't see the barrel markings but Winchester proof Steel would made it post 1930-- prior to that, Nickel steel (with the exception of the few stainless barreled M12's made--

It's not the brand of gun that matters nowdays. The guy is smoking a PIPE und das ist verboten in today's society. "Dies ist verbotn"!! Nicht "Das" Viel Gluck-- Der Fuchs!! (Umlat superimposed over the u in the German word for luck!!

I much preffer the A B FROST PHOTO, A man whilling away the day with his dog in toe and nothing on his mind but his special sxs in hand. Must be a small dog to fit into his toe- maybe a "dog in tow" might work better here-- And not all of us use side-by-sdies afield, I vary from 12 gauge Model 12's to 12 gauge LC Smiths (with two triggers, thank you)-- and if I do my part correctly, the big old "ditch parrots" drop to the ground leaving a big puff of feathers in the air- love to shoot pheasant!!

That's obviously a M42. Chuck...you need new glasses again.....  The gun in the picture is "obviously" an artists rendition with parts from many different pump guns of the era if you look close..... Dead give away is the radius at the top rear receiver, which appears neither 20's/30's Winchester or Remington, but closer to Marlin or Win 97 in the world of pump guns............the magazine tube appears to be Winchester as does the magazine barrel attachment, the corn cob appears more Remington than Winchester....?..... and on and on....... ....BTW, only girls used .410's back then....  Now what's the sex of the three dogs.....?......

(Umlat superimposed over the u in the German word for luck!! Yep, das=that singular dies=these plural. Either way in todays society smoking one is forbidden.  I never did figure out how to make this keyboard do an umlaut.
Practice safe eating. Always use a condiment.

The print that Eugene Molloy posted, the first one with the pheasant, now that is exactly what Buzz is talking about hunting in the Northeast. Gun at the ready, then as soon as you take a break...........and there he goes!!!!

For Chuck (at least the dog seems to be having fun  )  and Eugene  and HammerGuy & treblig  The usual scenario on the KS prairie is that you're standing in the middle of 200 acres of CRP, stop to pee, the pheasant flushes at your feet and you pee on yourself trying to pick up the gun
