Two Serious-Looking Hunters

[Shotgun Steve]

Swain, St. Paul. Cabinet Card of two serious-looking hunters with pistols, rifles, one holding a telescope as well. Both identified with names written in the image. Man on left is Axel Nilson, man on right is Olaf Ochine?

O in Olaf isn't like the first letter in the last name.  I don't think it's an O, but I can't tell you what it may be..

Very good pic.

[Major 2]

Serious-looking hunters indeed and it seems good at it ... it appears "ol" Olaf is well fed....

 for those of us with shall we say of generous proportions, that's providence

I'd read Olaf's last name as Schine

[Forty Rod]

BY George, I think he's got it.  Schine looks right.

They also say - "Even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while."  One in a row!!

From the looks of them I'd bet they were the 'Laurel and Hardy' of their community.

Looks like they loaded themselves down with studio props to me, unless they felt had to give the coup-de-grace to squirrels and pigeons with those little pocket pistols.

Just more photographic evidence of the ubiquitousness of pocket pistols in our era, when a photographer has three of them laying around for use as props.
