A colleague asked me to try to date this photo of a sandhill whooping crane in Nebraska by looking at the shotgun.

It's an interesting gun, at least to me. It has a strange lump in front of the trigger guard that must open the action. It is not familiar to me, but I'm sure several here can recognize it.

I think the best way to date the photos would be by using the guy's hat. Filson makes something similar today. I wonder if it is theirs?
