Too bad it was the Depression. Looks like she could have used a Day at the Spa. ; )
Back in the days when people still knew how to use slings...
Bet she was taught by a Marine how to sling up, and taught the correct stance. Obviously she did a dang good job at it! Kinda reminds me of Sherri Gallagher! AND I'll bet she didn't drink a lot of coffee...
ooooh lookie, a Model 52.
Old NFO: That proper use of the sling goes further back than that.
The brits at the Bisley matches never let up on their complaints about yank shooters abusing a rifle carrying convenience as a steadying device.
They had to find some excuse for losing, I guess.

"ooooh lookie, a Model 52."

If I wasn't a guy I would'a "squeeeed"
OMG!! She doesn't have that rifle at a SKOOL does she??
