Photo Restoration

Jeff,

Hope you don't mind but I borrowed a couple of the photos for a bit.  The question of the rifle drove me nuts.  Too much time in the house for the past two months.  I blew them up, twisted them, and other work.  The stock, ejection port, forestock, and general shape said shotgun.  But, his belt was holding high powered cartridges.  My best guess at this point is a Remington slide action rifle.  Possibly a model 14-1/2.  This based on the ejection port and the forestock and general shape.  Hope someone can verify or disprove.

Lou called me tonight, and he was pretty sure that his Dad had a 35 Remington. He said he only had one gun and that is what he remembered it to be. Lou was not yet 1 year old when that photo was taken.

I've done this a few time myself.   I used Photoshop and Picasa it is time consuming with the low power software, I've use older Corel draw as well.   There are a good number of free sources that you can use as well.   check into some of the ones who do photo printing walgreens has a upload and edit service that Ive used (we use Walgreens for printing pics works well stores pics for ya too if ya print a few. ;)   I store pics on --Photos MUST be in the Forestry Forum gallery!!!!!-- (probably get censored here though)

Other sites will store stuff for free too.   I use one of the 8 gig thumb drive to store npics it is a dang lot of photos too and less than 1/4 full I have pretty much all of them on 2 PCs now and on the thumb drive as well as on disks as Ive also had a HD die with 5 years worth of pics on it.  :(

The google pics of the Remington model 14 ½ look pretty close.

From what I can dig up it is a model 14. The 14 1/2 was only made in 38-40 and 44-40. But looking at the cartridges they are most likely 35 Rem, which the 14 came cambered in.
Knowing the Serial # won't help because they issued numbers out of the same sequence to both 14's and 14 1/2's.

That's what it looks like to me, a 35 Remington Model 14, discontinued in 1935.

The only picture my folks had of their wedding was an old Brownie shot of them standing in front of an old broken down yard fence with farm junk in the background and a goofy kid sticking out from behind them.  I took the picture and cleaned it up and removed the fence, goofy kid and junk.  I printed it out 8x10 and framed it for their anniversary gift.  I know Mom really appreciated it. 

I also had a good picture of Son Chris and wife Heather at their wedding.  I took a picture of me and Mary and placed it in the upper left.  Then took my folk's wedding picture mentioned above and placed it in the upper right.  It made a very special arrangement out of it.  I gave it to my folks who could not go to the wedding.





Then there is this one that's had a lot of changes made.  :D
