Young Men Shaking Hands

A handshakes photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park.

I'm not sure what to make of the young men in this real photo postcard from the Penn Park Studio in York, Pennsylvania. Both are shaking hands with their right hands as they hold cigarettes in their left hands. The fellow on the left is wearing what appears to be a somewhat scruffy military uniform dating to World War I, but the one on the right is outfitted in what may be a cowboy get-up, with a hat, neckerchief, revolver, holster, gun belt, and boots.

Compare this photo with another one from the same studio that shows two soldiers shaking hands (below).
