The .30-06 Springfield? In Africa?

"Oh, Osa... Show your rifle to the nice people here."

"Osa Johnson, a celebrated filmmaker, author and adventuress from the 1920s and ’30s, is shown with her Griffin & Howe Springfield .30-’06 Sprg on one of her many safaris, during which she guarded her husband, Martin, while he filmed African wildlife. On at least three occasions, she saved his life by killing charging animals. She also supplied meat for the camp, often using this rifle."
