Fascinating photo! The wagon itself is interesting. It is a typical Basque sheepherders wagon. Notice two interesting features..it has full side canvas skirting. Meant to park and stay awhile. Also the door is sliding like a barn door. Not meant to open out on a hinge. Keeps it under better control in windy weather.

Flat side toggles, not dished. Would this be consistent with that time frame???

Flat toggles became available starting in 1906, so yes it is entirely possible that this is period correct from 1906 or 1907

A Basque sheepherder [no pun intended] with a brand new Luger in Mormon Utah in 1907??? That's like Ice-T at a lemonade stand...

I have the following 1900 that I bet was used by some cowboy way back when. It looks like it was an every day carry and by someone who had to have a gun with him.
