What is that extra large long gun.

It’s a pole behind the gun that just happens to be at the same angle. At least I think it is.

I'm going with a long bayonet with sheath. By looking at the other rifles in the pic they all have them and I'm certain he wouldn't want to feel left out. By looking at how they attach to the rifle the curvature would be facing the photographer which is why we cant see it.

I think it's the sun reflecting off the flat side of the bayonet.  Look at the angle of the shadows.

And compare the position of that rifle with the one held by the soldier on our left. The rifles are rotated 90 degrees, so are the bayonets.

Sorry was out of town for a day to go to an Aunt's 100th birthday, so didn't get a chance to get on yesterday. I can see that it is the bayonet now. I didn't see the other rifle wit the bayonet and it never occured to me. Good eyes guys.

That looks like an 1800's drag queen.

Nah, just a hipster chick trying to one up all her hipster friends with a super authentic outfit.

I've read a few books recently, and it seems most of the classic old west pistoleros carried 4-8 pistols with 1-2 long guns in scabbards when mounted.  That's a formidable amount of firepower readily at hand.

Does it look to anyone else like he might be missing his legs? Something looks off, and I can't quite sort it out...

Yes. I’m pretty sure you’re correct. His legs are gone.

Looks like rehearsals for the Wermacht Theatre Enthusiasts Club's staging of Wizard of Oz.

Nope, just a bunch of old Colts.
