From the profile and the protruding bolt handle, the artist probably used a modern extended tube competition semi-auto shotgun to model in the studio.
What's something vaguely similar in profile our D-Day girl could possibly have been armed with after 5 years of Nazi occupation? An 1886 8mm Lebel carbine? A rare WWI-surplus FN A5/Remington Model 11 extended tube shotgun?
If I'd set up the studio shot, what would I have used? Probably a more believable (airsoft) Schmeisser...and a bike without extension levers!
