I added Thangle's very interesting piece to the "1933 Superposed" thread, which ended up more about the Askins than about the Major's pre-war Super. To see it in context, go to www.shotgunworld.com, Forums, I love my__, Browning shotguns, and 1933 Superposed.

Bill Askins has three daughters, Thangle refers to the Colonel as having four granddaughters. Thangle is either Bill's daughter or his neice. Hope to find out. I do like her writing style. Guess that apple didn't fall far...
