winchester model 21

winchester model 21, originally uploaded by br00ke.

we are shooting for a new client today, beretta . . i thought, 'guns . . how uninspiring', however . . my thoughts have proven to be haste as we are shooting one of hemingway's rifles . . . . and as far as guns go it is a rather impressive item to look at and it seems hemingway has become the topic of converstaion here today

of course we asked, is this THE gun ? ? no, it's not . . THE gun was a winchester model 21 (pictured above . . very similar to the one we have here), his favorite shotgun . . . i think it might be a little morbid to be ohhh'ing and ahhh'ing over a gun someone used to put an end to their life

earnest hemingway commited suicide on july 2, 1961
