Captain of the team, probably.  Early #52, with the square-cut rcvr, and the only gun showing a false-muzzle, so maybe a Stevens-Pope?

Can't make it out clearly, but the gun on the extreme right looks like another Stevens.

Looks like shooting dress standards have gone downhill somewhat nowadays.

Shooting dress?  What about public school dress???  Conducive to learning & good discipline?

Kensmachine, Yes as far as I know. The Coors company tried to locate it before the first Coors shoots in Golden and offered a reward for its location.

Anyone have any info on the OP's picture, beyond it being the Coors Cup winners? Are they the Denver Rifle Club, or Central City? About what time frame?
