The white-haired gentleman holding that most exquiste rifle like it was one of his grandchildren bears a slight resemblance to Ernest Hemingway in his better days- and that's meant as a compliment-our country's best writer, along with Samuel Langhorn Clemens (in my opinion)! Hemingway once said, when asked about owning engraved or custom weapons- "A gun is to shoot"- but he also was a frequent customer when in NYC at the A&F gun room-RWTF

"The field is the touchstone of the man"..
