I wonder if the knife and the revolver are photograhers studio props again... Not haveing as sheath or a holster might indicate that.

Good picture presentation again Steve.

Apears to have rubber boots on also.  Ducks with a 73?

They sure are rubber boots, and they almost look like they are on the wrong feet. Especially the on on his right foot...!

The rubber boots of the period tend to look like that, Guthrie Oklahoma 1886:



I had another better picture of rubber boots found in the Butcher collection, but didn't copy it at the time since I was looking for something else and I now can't find it again.
