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

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.
