Carrier is marked “44 CAL”. Mounted with uncheckered, straight grain American walnut with straight stock & crescent buttplate with trap.

Hubbard, Co., Jacksonville, FL. Also accompanied by a copy of the packing room ticket as noted. Florida, at the time of this shipment, was still very sparsely populated and hunting was a way of life.
