Getting old! HA! I probably used to know that!? Thank you, yes, Model 409. From the early to mid 60's as I recall. I think I even have an old Galef price sheet here somewhere. |

I have shot this model. Very nice. My hunting friend only collects Merkels and allows me to use his gun(s) if I wear shooting gloves :) |

I dropped a couple birds trying to get to the marsh to set up. As I ran, I could see groups of pheasants getting up out of the corner. One group after another. Finally, getting to the marsh/pond/roa ... |
