Correcto-mundo Mr. OWD-- here's the quote page 148 in the book "Hemingway's Guns"-- "Some guns, of course, were always made and sold under the Scott name, and EH's was one of these- a Monte Carlo B, a model introduced in 1891, as competitive pigeon shooting was reaching its zenith. Although the B implies a second grade gun, there was no Monte Carlo A (and the B was available in two grades, or levels of finish. It was the firm's most popular sidelock shotgun, often made up as a pigeon gun, although game and wildfowl versions were available- it was offered in gauges ranging from 10 to 28---- although far less costly than a best-grade London gun, it was hardly inexpensive. In its final year of production, 1935, it had a retail price of 35 lbs. sterling- equal to the America dollar retail price of a CHE Parker with single selective trigger, (aprox.)= FYI
