Title: Great Old Photo
Post by: WapitiTalk1 on May 02, 2016, 07:53:37 AM: Received this old photo in one of those "great old pics" emails this morning. Has anybody seen this one before? Any idea who it is? Thought it was a nice pic from a different era.

You can get buy a repro for a reasonable price ;) http://csharpsarms.com/catalog-detail.php?product_id=40

Phantom16-I think you nailed it!!! In one of those pictures the rifle has the wavy lever release on the right side, like in the vintage photo above in the post.

Standing over one of her many trophy mule deer, subsistence-and-sport huntress “Gusty” Wallihan appears every inch the frontier matron with her dressy bonnet, prairie-pattern cartridge belt, floral-embroidered gauntlets, hunting knife, and Remington-Hepburn rifle. 1895
