Update: I ran across this photo in a box of old family pictures a little while ago. The focus is not of the best, but you should get the idea.

It's my grandfather, with that very shotgun, a long time ago. Notice that it still has a factory tag on it, down by his right hand. When my father saw this photo, he identified it as having been taken at Christmastime in 1978 or '79, which solves the mystery of why Gramp bought a single-barrel shotgun: he didn't, it was given to him as a Christmas present.

Also, I just realized that in this photo, Gramp is only maybe two or three years older than I am now. Ye gods.
