Some of those 97 Winchesters could be Marlins. I think it is the 1898 Marlin that looks so similar but is a fairly dangerous gun to shoot. Here are a couple more interesting photos. Some of these birds would be fun to ID as well. Photo A Photo B - this one obviously shot with the .30=30 and #9 TSS shot Photo C - Interesting gun on the left Photo D Shotgun could be anything, but game photos with little kids are always good.

Aldo Leopold shot a fox XE 20 gauge that he ordered with no safety.

Aldo and Nash Buckingham must have been on the same page-- I believe some of his double guns had no top tang located safety-RWTF

Thanks, Dr. Drew-- I'll watch any movie with Steve McQueen in it- The Great Escape, The Magnificent 7, and my all-time favorite: "Bullitt"-- wonder how Steve ID'd the sawed-off M97 pump the "hitman" was pointing at him as a Winchester-when he reported the car chase and fire/explosion to his C.O. in the movie..
Both McQueen and Yul Bryuner died of cancer, as did John Wayne, Gary Cooper and Humphrey Bogart. Great actors from another era indeed. RWTF

I agree with the Colt pump action rifle as per the photo- I am thinking more towards the Marlin on the pump shotgun however, clearly Not a Win. M93 or M97-- you have a good eye for details. It could also be a 1897 Winchester-- but the through pin in the magazine tube near the hanger seems, at a glance, to be longer than found on the M97 take-down series- also seems that the tube itself is a bit longer than on the WRA pumpgun-- but that's just a "SWAG" on my part.

That Wesley Richards from what I can see of it looks very much like my W Richards, a lower grade J P Clabrough.
I believe in days of Yore in the west Greener was somewhat synonymous for Shotgun. Doc Holiday has been stated to have used a Greener at the OK Corral, but as I recall it has been identified as a "Meteor".

The shotgun in Photo A could be a W Richards. I had one like it once. What is the bird in A? I think I know what it is, but I might have some inside info.
Photo B is definitely a Colt Lightning. The shotgun looks a lot like a Winchester 97 to me, with the way the mag tube release is shown. But if it is, then the forearm has been worn or sanded down a lot. The face of the receiver looks like it is a takedown like my 97, but maybe the Marlin was similar. I haven't pulled out anything to compare yet.
