	It's been a while since I've looked through the images of photos from Michael Petrov's library. here's a favorite that has appeared in books before.

	Looks like Dr Baker has a Sharps Borchardt and A. O. Niedner has a Stevens Model 44-1/2 with a ball-and-spur lever.

	Joe, thanks again for sharing. Question what does Mr Leopold have in his belt? Looks like a telescope...but not quite, what do you think?

	Is that a shooting stick - a monopod barrel rest?

	A shooting stick as described in F.W. Manns book. JLouis

	Looks like Mann has the same kind of shooting rest/stake as well. I'm wondering what the cartridges were on Leopold's the cartridge belt and in Niedner's bandolier. they look to be quite long. Any notes on what they were hunting.?

	I believe it is noted as being Woodchucks in Mann's book and he and Dr. B were using a 28-30 if memory serves me right. JLouis

WOODCHUCKS! For decades, one of THE hotspots for chuck hunting in the East. About 35 yrs ago, I tried to buy a 19th C. cottage in Shushan, but the place was sold before I could make arrangements. 35 yrs ago, before the coyote plague had reached epidemic proportions, there were still chucks around, though not in the numbers of Dr. Mann's time. A would-be chuck hunter living there now would probably have to be content with the beautiful countryside. 40+ yrs ago, I used an adjustable shooting stick very similar to this for chuck hunting in Delaware County, which since then has also succumbed to the coyote and second-home invasion. Even if the coyotes could be wished away, there's no wishing back the dairy farms that were the chucks' environment.

	Could very well be, John. Niedner also built Doc Baker a Borchardt in .25 Krag. I don't think the one in Joe's picture is it but here is a picture of the 25 Krag that was posted by Michael Petrov. Bob

Have seen photo in several books, but never reproduced so sharply. Did Michael have the original?

	I believe so. It sold on Amoskeag a couple of years ago. Joe would know for sure.

	Thank you, have never seen the picture that clearly. If you look closely, think you can see the striker and tapered breech block on Dr. Baker's Brochardt. Might be the same rifle. Chuck
