I wonder if the armory made the photographer nervous. Just take the photo and leave!!

I realize it was common back in the day, but I just can't take a man seriously who wears overalls -- shotgun or not.

All the farmers I have known wear overalls. Working on a farm and mucking out barn stalls sure doesn't call for a suit and tie. It's still common in many parts of the country.

Looks like a mod.10 Remington and a mod. 12 Winchester shotgun. Both made way after 1900.

You could be right! The owner isn't sure of the exact date. When do you think that this would date the photo?

Any idea what part of MS? I tagged a friend that's a "Mississippi Felts". Lol

I agree with Don - The boots the guy on the left is wearing are circa WW1.

he Winchester Model 1893 Slide Action Shotgun was designed and patented by the Browning Brothers, and was the first successful slide-action shotgun. It was introduced in May of 1893, and was manufactured until July of 1897.

I wonder if "the look" was staged for the photographer.

My goes back to William Felts. I wonder if we share ancestors? They ended up in far western Kentucky.

The lack of smiles were because of cameras of that time. They didn't have fast shutter speeds like we do today.
