What Parker is Mr. Gable holding in this strange pic with Jimmy Robinson?

The book annotation says 1938 but written on the photo is 'Xmas--1940"?!?
The story I've always heard is that Clark Gable's A1 Special went to Gary Cooper and from Gary Cooper to Roy Rogers. Where it has gone since then I haven't heard. If it became available in California, the names John Millius and Robert Petersen come to mind.
A couple of the 1940s pictures of Coop in
High on the Wild with Hemmingway show him holding a high-grade Parker with a beavertail.
