Wonderful picture for your collection. You always seem to find the good stuff! Thanks for sharing. A 92 and two 73's, all carbines? What say others here?

I'm sure some will chime in with all kinds of comments about how these guys have to be "movie studio Indians", or native ranchers in town who got dressed up to look like "the real McCoy", etc, etc.

It's not mine; it is on EBay. I thought it was funny that he said it was from 1880s but still a great 1890s photo. He has others and they are priced about right but to much for me right now. One has chief Parker in it near Fort Sill. These are very rare original cabinet photos, not seen on EBay very often. RR7

The one on the left sure looks like a 1892, and they do look like they know what they have in there hands. Reckon that ain't the first carbine they had hold of.

Great photo. Too bad about the mis-labeling.

Great Photo & Thanks for Sharing.

The NA on the left looks like he's holding a 92, center a 73 and the right a '66 Yellowboy?

Police don't need no steenkin' badges.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Left to right: 1892 carbine, 1873 carbine, 1873 carbine. My two cents, RR7

Look between the feet of the two on the left. You will see the number 95. Could be the year of photo?

Sorta like the picture of "Jesse James" and his gang by the cave, where there is a big 1886 in the picture? (Jesse was dust by the time the '86 came out, LOL)
