    Came across this promo image of Ray Milland checking out someone's gun cabinet; taken right before the release of "Skylark" in 1941 - with Claudette Colbert and Brian Aherne



    Not sure about the pump - it does not appear to have a barrel band ala Winchester;
    The autoloader in the middle looks to be a Winchester 1911 "Widowmaker" with the knurled barrel;
    Next a higher grade straight stock Lefever;
    Then a likely FW Field grade Smith.

    There was once a time when shotguns and shooting were fashionable in Hollywood
