What Shotgun did you shoot your FIRST bird with? and do you still have it?

Mossberg 500 in 20 ga with a plain barrel and Modified choke in 1973. The first gun I bought with my own money - I was 14, from the WW Arcade in downtown Edmonton - $79.99 IIRC. First bird was a duck, unfortunately the 38 years since has somehow blurred my memory as to what kind. What I do remember though is that I killed a shyteload of ducks with that gun. I still have it.
 
first gun i bought was a bretta A391 shot many clays with it second gun benelli nova i shot a big tom with just last year!

Bolt action .410 that my dad still uses with deadly accuracy on grouse hunts, and he bought it at Simpson-Sears in Thunder Bay in 1967. Some day my son will use it too. Not too soon though I hope.
