I am working on A. O. Niedner's history and have this photo from his photo album. It shows his staff in a poor photo. I need the identity of his staff. Help!

I am certain I have seen this picture with the names of the men attached to it. I am from near dowajiac Michigan. It may have even been inside a local restaurant. Let me think about it.

I didn’t realize they had spray on tan in those days.

Tom,

I did a quick reverse image search, if you look up "NIEDNER RIFLE CORP.- 7 x 57 MAUSER CARBINE" it should be the first hit. The post has your picture with names and some more history. If you can't find it, the photo reads, 
"NRC workmen 1940 left-right Vernor Gipson, Ray Langguth, Tom Shelhamer, Lewis Dodd, C. Orville Behrman and A.O. Niedner."

Hope this helps, I'll keep digging.

Logan

Another NRC gun, a measly $17,500, it also has some history attached, same picture. If it's correct history or not will be left up to you Tom.

The photo caption identifies the man standing next to Niedner as "C. Orville Behrman".  The GI write-up identifies the Niedner employee who rifled the Mauser's barrel as "Carlyn W. Behrman".  Were there two Niedner employees named Behrman or is one of the identifications wrong?
