http://Found a book called Hemingway High On The Wild by Lloyd Arnold. In it is another photo of Gary Cooper with the same rifle again positively identified by features and the patterns in the wood grain again! The photo was taken in early 1948 by the author Lloyd Arnold when Gary Cooper was visiting Earnest Hemingway in Idaho. I did a quick google search and found another similar photo that was taken at the same time. This photo is owned by the library at Southern Utah University. I called a very nice lady by the name of Paula. She was nice enough to send me the full size file of the photo today. This is very interesting for me since it proves Gary used the rifle for hunting and it wasn't a safe queen. i also included some text from the book Hemingway High On The Wild describing how the author was asked by Gary Cooper to take the photos of him with the bobcat.
