Walking down the hall in an office building I sometimes work in, I passed a faded print on the wall. It was an amazingly well done watercolor of hunter with dog and grouse. James Sessions painted water colors prolifically up to his death in 1962, mostly sea scenes, and was the best WWII artist. But I really like this painting - would like to have the original. Anybody know who owns it? Looks like he's using an o/u, maybe with a rag on his left hand?

Yeah, my first thought was lever gun. Of course, I've been working on a 95 Marlin for a few days lately so I suppose I'm biased.

Appears to be a Winchester 1873 smoothbore, which was chambered for .44-40 shot cartridges. At the range depicted in the print he could take the grouse handily with it ........ if he gets on the trigger quickly enough. He's dead online with the left bird.
Nice, Gene.
