Interesting Picture
 

Picture of "Arizona Lawmen, Sonora, Arizona" - Arizona Rangers??? I assume from the early 1900's. Interesting to note that 3 have Colt SAA's, 3 have Colt 1911"s, & one has a Luger!

Yes, I knew there had to be photo's like this, and have been looking for some.

Very cool.

It's a shame it is not dated at all....

Wow, The lawman on the left definitely has the pistol pointing in the wrong direction!!! I don't think I would be comfortable walking around like that!!!

The runt with the stogie looks like a mean SOB to me...I wouldn't want any part of him... :(

I don't see a badge on any of them...Three can't afford holsters...Only one pair of handcuffs visible...

Citizens Vigilance Committee, perhaps... :D

It's interesting that the tie was still an important part of dress in this dessert climate. The diversity of physical types is notable. No Hollywood types here!

I don't think any of these men took any guff from anyone!!

I love this kind of picture.
It's like fresh air concerning the stereotype of "prussian-only" use of Lugers that is on our minds most of the time...

Thanks for sharing!
