    With the much sought after and very rare left handed Garandicon...

    Obviously posed, but wondering if, with the pic oriented correctly, the right-hand guy is left-handed?

    Like I said, the guy who was on the right and is now on the left is now holding left handed. It might just be the cameraman wanting a symmetrical pose, though.
