Did anyone notice the Ithaca M-37 shotgun?

Loved the movie. Years ago I had all the reprinted old time African and India hunting books. I read this one and reread it to my wife after we watched the movie. We took a train trip to Chicago and saw these Lions at the Chicago Museum.

For years I had a SG pre-64 M-70 in 375 H&H. Just in case a zombie lion attack happened.

Drop down and click on each rifle used in the movie:

I saw the movie and had to read his book, "The Man-Eaters of Tsavo". You can do some research to see which rifles Lt. Col. Patterson used to dispatch the two lions.

The movie was pretty close to the book. The actual lions were maneless males while the movie lions had impresssive manes which is what the audiences would expect. Either way, those two lions were vicious killers.
