The Remington 552 was a gift from my Grandfather as was the 5100 Stevens 16 ga. I actually purchased an EXACT replacement SxS many years later, patina and all. (They all got stolen) Only lacking a few drops of lead paint from where it from was drizzled, when they repainted the living room in the early 1950's.

Dad bought me the Ithaca M66 "Supersingle" .410 for my 10th CHristmas, it cost $38 on the tag. I figured he haggled it down a bit. Really a crappy little beast. Cast receiver with spring extractor that often hung. I traded buddies for the wartime Beretta 418 and the Crossman 454 CO2. The High Standard Longhorn was really Mom's. The Bearcat, FIE SA, Winchester 94, and Browning Sweet 16 were Dad's. But I shot them 100x more than he ever did.
