This painting was reproduced on page 191 of Elvgren - His Life and Art by Max Allan Collins and Drake Elvgren (Collectors Press, 1998) and also as figure 556 of Gil Elvgren, All His Glamorous American Pin-Ups, by Charles G. Martignette and Louis K. Meisel (Taschen, 1999). According to an authors' (Collins and Elvgren) note, this particular Elvgren subject is unique as "the artist's enthusiasm for guns rarely made it into his pin-ups."
