Western Scout?

This guy LOOKS like a western Scout but is unidentified.He is certainly staged and posed in the studio. He holds a Springfield, military carbine in his right hand and has a holstered Colt in a high top, single loop holster. His belt has large caliber bullets in it. He has a elaborately decorated shirt and a buckskin jacket covered in fringe! He also wears military style high top boots. Image is by W.H. Farley but no location. The mount is marked EXTRA FINISH. Let me comment on the meaning of extra finish for those who do not know the term. In this period, extra finished simply meant that the image is lightly glossed rather than left flat as albumen images were. This was actually the beginnings of the gloss photographs. It dates in the 1890s.
