If anyone on this planet can identify the two guns in this photo, I'm betting they frequent this forum.
I turn to the sages of the high road (Dr. Rob and the like) to help me with this. I married into a Greek family and the only information they could give me was that the picture was taken between 1898 and 1905 (how they know that I don't know). The person's name was not known at the time, but everybody believes he was a war hero. When I asked what war, I got cold, piercing eyes shot at me (enough to make me flinch). "Why the one against the ungodly Turks!" was the only verbal answer that I could get. To which I responded "... you mean the Greco Turkish War? But I don't think that started until 1920...". Which was met with more piercing stares as if I said something blasphemous. Somebody muttered something about me being a yankee and everybody went back to eating.

I'd love to know the identity of both guns and any other information you detective geniuses can glean. I'd love to know about the scope.
Apparently somebody in the family (probably a cousin named Nick) has the pictured guns in a storage unit somewhere. If I can return to them with some interesting knowledge I might be granted custody of the guns as everybody knows I'm the Yankee with the gun safe.
Thanks for all your help.
