I'm rather fond of that image, myself!

I was even more fond of Mr, John Forrest Easton, my grandfather, who is holding the M1910 Takedown Model at center of the 1932 photo. I am now its custodian and keeper and have been for decades. The leopard's claws are in the MS's fitted case, the pith helmet and (not well cured) hide have long since given way to the ravages of time.
