I know this is the wrong thread, as the gun is about 1952. BUT - this is one
of Congressman King's gun. He was a 17-term CA Congressman, and died in about
1971 or so. Among his many accomplishments is the co-author of the
Anderson King bill, which, when signed into law in the early 1960's, is better
known an Medicare. Photos courtesy of Bill Cross .











The gadget on the end of the barrel is a choke. If you look closely at the picture
of the grips, you will see the birds-eye maple under that awful coloring someone added.

This last picture is the signing-into-law of Medicare. Congressman King is seen looking
on, rather approving. He is to the left of the signing table. Lots of other luminaries
present, that day !
