A wide range of views.  There must have been  taylor in every town in Vietnam.

I recognize some of the other, but can't recall their names. I may have some pics with their names on it, I'll look and see.

I have never liked these. Agree with above comments.

I would be interested in taking to you about this grouping…. many thanks,Tom.

Personally I would pass on this wing if offered. Flat open catch vs wire C catch. Very clean stamping of hallmark. Others might disagree.

That's why they had tripods. 😆  

That was my thought too. When I would hunt I took a spreader bar and pully with me and would hoist on a tree limb. There are no trees in the Mojave and that was a large Fort with many mouths to feed. As best I can tell on the 1879 map the location of that photo is not far from the stabels. I think 3 kitchens are placed around the camp. with no ice house or refrigeration and plenty of grazing for cattle around the Fort beef would be on the menue 7 days a week.
