    Silvio Calabi, Steve Helsley, and I have authored many Shooting Sportsman Magazine articles and books, one was "Hemingway's Guns-the Sporting Arms of Ernest Hemingway" 2010. Now we are adding many more guns we have found in the revised edition out the end of this year. We were invited to Cuba and to Finca, EH's home for over two decades. In the gun collection there, we found a gun that we had seen photos of and obtained photos of the gun now and this info. It is a.410 LCS FWE Field Grade Pistol Grip SN:103621. We need info from anyone for our research and book description of the LCS. The museum in Cuba and we do not need a letter but only the info.like production date, where shipped, where sold,etc. We could also do an article on the gun for the LCS newsletter or website if wanted with no charge. Yes, we have checked with Bob Beach also as he has been a collaborator with us on many of EH guns. One of EH's sons, Greg, was a champion .410 shooters and we have photos of EH, Greg and this LCS with trophys. Any help,please place here or privately at my email: sangerrk@gmail.com or cell 831-594-6512. Thanks Roger Sanger
