"High On The Wild With Hemingway" is the ONLY book about Hem's Idaho years I do NOT have. But I have Tillie Arnolds book--"The Idaho Hemingway" on page 35-= Gene is shown mounting a single triggered double gun- can't see enough detail from the grainy foto- but looks like a boxlock to me- and from the frame shape- my guess is Ithaca- Bud Purdey may have shot other pumpguns, but his vade mecum pumpgun was an Ithaca M37 featherlight- Hem gave him a made-to-order Spanish double 12 gauge, but Bud shot the Ithaca better--RWTF
