	LOL.… I think naming a rifle after "Steely Dan" would be as acceptable as wearing a "Fez" of the kind Steely Dan was referring to on my head (after all, the band was named after the revolutionary steam powered dildo mentioned in writer William S. Burroughs novel Naked Lunch)! The sword would be awesome though... wish I had the money. Of course, if I had that much money, I'd have a few more Krags!

	Warriors and Constabulary rifles with a couple prisoners.

	It would be fun to have an hour to examine the 7 or 8 Constabulary Rifles in this photo and make some notes! (The Moro attired 'scout' appears to have a Krag on his shoulder).

	By golly, I think you're right. The scout appears to have the butt end of Krag facing the camera on his right shoulder. You can see a shadow where the toe curls in, otherwise, it shows up in the photo as "white". (The scout is standing to the right of the two captors with dark shirts, in case anybody is wondering.)

	BTW - The two prisoners are restrained with leg-shackles. The armed man, in full-length native garb, must be a head-man, spy, or scout. I wonder if the man on the left, sort of 'peeking in', is an officer? His face appears European and his Mill's web gear seems to have 'pockets'. He is wearing his Fez 'quite jaunty'. I wish we could see his Feet & Legs; that would tell all! Neat photo! I haven't seen it before. Thanks for posting, Knute.
