Weatherby’s Sporting Goods on Safari

Marc found this great photo of jeeps positioned outside Weatherby’s sporting goods. The jeep on the left appears to be a GPW, while the one on the right is a CJ-2A. It was posted at the gentlemen’s sporting club. There is more history about the Weatherby’s, sporting goods, safaris, and rifles, but I’ll have to save that research for later.
