Yeah, what was that kid thinking anyway. He should have known better than to put a sling on that rifle. crazy

Now we need someone to date the photo based upon the characteristics of the 99 and the kid's clothing. 1930's? 1940's?

According to the Lever Boss Code 1949. grin
I'd Say Between 1948 and 1953 is my Guess.

Uncheckered EG puts the rifle between 1935 and 1938, but it doesn't exactly look new so any time in the 40's or 50's would be my guess. Probably 40's.

Interesting way to attach a tag on that antelope.

That's an absolutely splendid picture! Could have even been early '60s as B&W film was still widely used.
