This is a spectacular cabinet image of a man identified on the table cover as WINCHESTER FRANK. Research indicates he was a man named Captain Frank Sargent of Oklahoma City. He had been a Kansas Scout for the 2nd Regiment in the late 1870s. Dates circa 1880s. He is dressed in a leather, fringed jacket with beaded 5 pointed stars. Leather pants and beaded moccasins. Wide brim western hat at his side. There is a target leaning against the hat that suggests he was a trick shooter. He has two Winchester 1873 rifles. The one he is holding is special order with fancy wood and checkered forend and butt stock and a full nickel plate. That gun today on the antique market in that condition is a $150, 000 gun ! The butt stock has a presentation insert. He has two, holstered, Colt Double Action Frontier revolvers on the floor at his left. He also has a mirror on the table beside him indicating he takes the famous shot over his shoulder behind him using a mirror. You will see others in this section. The image is by Duffy's, Bloomburg, Pa. He is undoubted on tour. Wonderful Western image! These images were generally one of a kind.
