Army Rifle Team
Army Rifle Team
Tom Trevor has the original of this print. There is a copy hanging in
the Custer Battlefield Museum.
Tom feels the Army Shooting Team photo dates around 1884 or earlier due to
the fact that none of the soldiers are wearing marksman bars
or sharpshooter crosses which came out in 1884.
There is a lot of detail in the picture.
Some of the more obvious features are: the
rifles have Model 1879 rear
sights, and the stocks are the short wrist long comb style.
