Federal Hunter, Oregon 1908


There's some interesting details in this photograph, which I was originally going to post without comment.

The hunter, J. T. Jardine, is carrying the archetypal Winchester 94, the American rifle of the period.  If I had to guess, it's probably a .30-30.

The two saddles that are visible are classic A fork saddles.  Saddles of that period were nearly always 7/8s rigged A forks with high cantles and high pommels,  like the ones in this photograph.
