1958.
20 gauge that I won on a football board with the princely sum of.50 cents. The football game was LSU vs Hardin-Simmons. My numbers were 0 and 6, the final score was 20-6, LSU won and won the National championship that year. I was just a wee bairn at the time.
Has been shot so much that you can point it straight up, punch the slide release and the corn cob falls on its on to full open chamber. Doves, squirrels, ducks, geese, rabbits and several whitetails.
Very little bluing left on it but still shoots # 4s, 6s and 7 1/2s like it always did. 28” full choke with the B.B. front sight. Has been used as a boat paddle twice that I recall.
Grandson has it now, disassembled and tucked away in the original box that it came in. Inside the box with the gun I have the written history of it along with the original sports page from the Baton Rouge Morning Advocate telling about the football game.
