Should be mentioned on the image page that it's hand coloured. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 06:53, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support although some touch-ups could improve the quality further. Nergaal (talk) 06:55, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The EV's not blowing me away. Just because it's an old photo, doesn't mean we should feature it. J Milburn (talk) 16:08, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not because it's old, but because it displays yumi, yari, katanas, tachi and other original military stuff. The EV is thus quite high. Twilightchill t 17:34, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support indeed has a lot of EV. I don't really like the strange shape of the photo and the resultant white border, but I suppose nothing can be done about it. Purpy Pupple (talk) 23:51, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Question Who is the guy on the left of the picture that looks like he is sleeping?. Spongie555 (talk) 04:08, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Most likely he is the owner of this stuff or is otherwise related to this weaponry (the photo was taken in Enami's studio). Twilightchill t 08:32, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- And he's not sleeping! He appears to be merely very absorbed in his abacus arithmetic. Purpy Pupple (talk) 22:32, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
