And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Hunter in Lower Austria, 1900, or CW, the later years?
Very strange photo. The firearm is curious. Bolt action .22, or Browning T bolt? Very odd looking stock at the grip area. The medalian on his upper left chest sorta looks like an antelope. Well used looking lederhosen.
Amazing resemblance to one of my Opa's.
ReplyDeleteThose whiskers are epic, and the pipe...well... I can only envy.
DeleteWhoa, look at the size of those shoes...
ReplyDeleteYou know what they say....
DeleteWell dammit, I thought they said it was the hands...
DeleteDefinitely CW - the later years.

ReplyDeleteThe pin looks like a stag to me. Do you think he was a gamekeeper?
