Took some looking. The OP's image is a press photo of John Boles and labeled "Shooting High - teaching 5 beauty queens to shoot."
I don't know the date.

I'd guess the SxS to be a Model 21, looks like a Winchester promo.

Does look to be a Winchester Model 21 that Bill Davis is holding. Certainly not a Winchester promo photo with Bobby Stack's Remington Sportsman/Model 11, and Alex Kerr's Remington Model 32. I suspect that is a Remington Model 31 Harry Fleischman is holding and a Browning Superposed with the Non-Crossfire Ventilated Rib that Grant Ilseng is holding.

Here is a righteous Winchester promo photo --



At least Mrs. Van daLinda has the breech of her gun open.

That's a pretty snappy red out fit.
I've got a box of those yellow/blue Super X's in my collection. Nice to put a date to them off the postage mark-1945

While it may have been "bird busters" in the hook and bullet mags, it was probably "blouse busters" in Playboy. Gil

I do have a thing for women with guns. This one has been my hunting partner for the past 40 years. I'm even okay that she prefers a 20 gauge.
