Guess it is time for me to post a couple here. Here is some evidence of where I got this double gun disease --

My Father and Curley with Grandpa's 1890-vintage Parker Bros. PH-Grade the fall of 1932 at King Lake, Minnesota --



My Father with his 1896-vintage Remington AE-Grade and Rusty in Columbia County, Washington, in 1972 --



There were a lot of birds then. Rusty wasn't that much of a dog. A lady friend of ours found him half starved and near froze to death in Grant County, Washington, spent a bundle on nursing him back to health and he spent most of his time sleeping on a white brocade sofa in her livingroom.
