A Marlin Model 39D Dad bought me (Santa) when I was 13, and a close second is an heirloom Springfield 16 gauge single shot shotgun that used to belong to my Great Uncle Roscoe McDuffy. It was made in 1912 and he helped feed his family with it during the Great Depression. Dad used it in the 1940s when he was in college near their farm.
