See post 271 in this thread for a better photo of that store.  And in my opinion, yes, that is the Freund brothers' store; the very large rifle trade sign is a major clue.

In that great photo of the "Mann Gang" posted by Old Win, the bloke on the far left has some piece of equipment hanging off his belt. Can anybody tell me what what it is.....?

It’s a shooting rest.  Stick it in the ground, rest the barrel on the thimble thingie off the side, aim and fire.

Probably doubled as a walking stick, or could be stowed, as needed.

OK, thanks for that. When I enlarged the photo I noted that Doc Mann is also holding one of these rests. I wonder just how stable a single anchor point was in use?

    I have one that is very similar to what you see. It has worked quite well for me, but not on very hard or rocky ground. The one I have is made of 5/8 and 1/2 inch steel and very stable if you can get it far enough in the ground. I covered the rest portion with rubber tubing to protect the rifle stock. It's biggest advantage, is it is easily portable.

I also used a similar rest in my "salad days" of groundhog hunting. Not rock solid but better than relying on tired body parts to support a heavy varmint rifle.

Saw this one on the internet, lists as a gun shop in Seattle.  Immediately when I saw the photo I thought of going into town to get supplies in the movie Pale Rider and one of my favorite parts "nothing like a good piece of hickory"...

Ah, nothing but sissys in that town. See, there's a whole crate of Procter and Gamble soap in the wagon!
