Traditional treasure hunt picture game

No wings or harp, but this is the angel from my old Hummel nativity set.

This has gone well past 24 hours. I really don't think a shell grabber with a double barrelled shotgun was in the spirit of the game, but it's not my call. Who has a shell grabber? Is that even a traditional knife? A double barrelled shotgun is not legal or highly restricted in many of the countries of porch members and not exactly common in those countries that allow them. I revived this thread after the last 24 hour stump, but I'll let someone else choose this time.

Edit: I did a search on shell grabber knife and nothing came up. The closest were either shell handled knives or oyster knives. Also, I was thinking that someone with the shotgun might not want to post it here, depending on how much personal information they have disclosed.

So what is a shell grabber? I have never heard of such a knife. I had the gun, but no idea what a shell grabber is.

Good question. I presumed it would be a kind of knife meant to pry out shells that didn't extract but then I searched and didn't see anything like that.

I have some. They are very traditional. They are also called shell pullers. They are used to pull out a shell when it gets stuck. This can happen with loads due to excessive swelling, or when the ejectors and extractors get worn and slip over the rim of the cartridge. They are still common in Europe and countries where ejectors are still not built into every shotgun. They have been around 100 years. I didn't post something I expected to be that hard, and (as I've said in this thread before) I won't ask for something I can't do myself.

Here's a pic for those who still don't know:

Ya, I don't care about the prizes other than I donated a couple and was wondering if anybody has won them yet. Also, I think others may have donated prizes and I was curious as to what they were. At this point, with all the winners, I was also curious if there were any prizes left. Since I'm not actually competing for prizes, it was mostly just curiosity.
 
There's me thinking a Shell Grabber was some manner of Oyster or Shellfish knife :D

That would be a nice shot though, but what about the Schatt Dollar on a Dollar note first?

I knew exactly what you meant, but didn't have either one.
