I thought some here may find this of interest. This is the list of their guns as listed in "I Married Adventure". From the "Four Years in Paradise" period which is 1924-1928 (if I remember correctly).

3 English Blands, .470, double-barrel
1 English Bland, .275, Mannlicher action
1 American Springfield, .303, Mauser action
[Obviously an editing error. The rifle was probably in .30-06 Springfield. (Or maybe ".30-03"? Close to ".303"; an editing error maybe?). "Mauser action" must have meant a bolt action as a descriptive term. I have seen photos of this rifle and it is a Springfield action. I read somewhere that it was a Griffin & Howe sporter. See pic below. - Bob]
1 English Rigby, .505, Mauser action
3 American Winchesters, .405, lever action
1 American Winchester, .32, lever action
2 English Jeffries [sic], .404, Mauser action
1 American Winchester shotgun, .12, double-barrel
1 American Ithaca, .20, double-barrel
1 American Ithaca, .20, saw-off [sic] shotgun, called riot gun
1 .38 Colt revolver
1 .45 Colt revolver

Hmmmmm........ I'd say they had a nice little battery!!!!
