There are a lot of old 94's in that pic.

Look like flatlanders to me.

Must be 1899 in New Jersey!

Regardless of particulars,that is a great photo and thanks for sharing.

Forced to guess,I'd take a stab at 1905-ish and say Maine for no reason other than it was on the tip of my tongue................

looks like a krag or two in there, is the guy on the bottom left holding a 71?.. I'll guess 1931, great depression, and since they all look like my scott kinfolk, i'll guess tenn.

Nick, isn't that you kneeling in the center? Looks like you are about 18 in that picture.

Ray Atkinson's Thanksgiving day family picture...last month. Ray is the old cooter-head in the back!!!

Nick,

I'm thinkin' Maine, early last century?

Joe

Great Picture...

The guy second from left in the back has something other than a Winchester lever action. I can't tell whether it's a bolt action or a Savage 99. Who can guess?

Kinda looks like the photographer forgot to tell 'em to say cheese! Unknown county PA, circa 1910. I get lost looking at photos like this. In my estimation, they're priceless. Only a generation or two earlier, there were no photos ... of anything.

Judging from the old boy in the center with the old French Forigen Liegon hat Id guess the home of Tabasco, Louisiana Cajun country..

Thats my guess, now what I really want to know is what was the bbl length of them 94s?

Look at the guy in the above photo (back row - second from left).

Now, look at the middle guy in this picture.


SAME GUY - SAME HAT! SCARY.

Regards,

Terry

I think it's all the guys who have hunted Cape buffalo with a .45-70. No wait, there haven't BEEN that many guys who did that!

How about 1900, Adirondack deer camp?

I dunno Terry, I think Perry has better hair than you too.

I'm waiting for Pecos45 to admit he was the one taking the picture.

Kensco,
You've got me wondering just who did take the photograph. I don't imagine there were many "hand" cameras in 1910 (?). It must have been sort of a big deal to have such a picture taken in the middle of the deer woods in 1910(?). Perhaps, one among them was a profesional photographer and he brought his equipment along. Not very up on the history of photographic equipment.

The photographer is the gentleman in the bottom left holding the shutter string!! So given that knowledge I'd have to say this was taken in the Late twenties -early thirties some where back east. Darn them some long barreled 94's !!!
Does anyone know what the was the longest barrel was for them-those got to be 32-34"?

Gunnut45/454,
You may well be right about the string (it just seemed out of position to me) but the photo is almost a certainty as 1910, according to the source documentation.
