A real G-man! Mark Felt, a.k.a. "Deep Throat".

[Feraud]

With all the talk of late regarding the identity of "deep throat", I saw this picture of former FBI deputy director Mark Felt. This picture is from the 6/02 NY Daily News
G-Man Mark Felt
Is that cool or what?

 

[HaraldTheSwede]

Cool, but the tie is hideous.

 

[Feraud]

Cool, but the tie is hideous.

Yes. However, he is pointing a gun at the observer!

 

[BellyTank]

The tie is pretty era-typical I would have thought.
And the pose...

Thick fabric?

Good Lord, either his pants or his shorts must be made of tent canvas. Nothing grumpier or more talkative than a G-Man in chafing underpants.

 

[BellyTank]

I thought he looked like he was taking a moment and passing gas...
as if he was showing off to a crowd of his drunken friends...
...and the photographer caught him mid-gas.
Note the stance and hand motion.

Brrrrrrrp-rrip!

I just thought it was ironic... his name's "Felt."

How often do we talk about "Felt" on this and other forums?

Here's another -

Why would he be posing for photos like this? Was the FBI into promo shots?

Another great picture! Good question. I wonder if it was a promo shot and if there are others out there....

 

[Biltmore Bob]

He was most likely a rising star on the political fast track. There are also someGordon Liddy photos like that floating around too.

Real sharp Pics!!

I doubt that my Dept would go for it. Besides, polyester isn't as sharp as a suit and fedora.

This is why you have to keep shooting them pics. You never know when they might become timeless!

Gunfighter Crouch-

Bill Jordan contrasted his upright style of point shooting with what he called the "gunfighter crouch."
The crouch was used by "Jelly" Bryce and is a part of Applegate's sytem, as well as the Fairbairn-Sykes
"Three-quarter Hip" position.

I should go visit him, he's right up the road.

Ah, Jelly Bryce. One of my heros. The man could outshoot anyone. You could tape up the sights and he could still shoot perfectly.
They say his vision was so perfect that he could literally see the bullet leave the gun and follow it to the target. He was the guy that could shoot holes in quarters thrown in the air.
His techniques were used to develop the modern defensive handgun acumen that law officers use today. Quite a guy.

Ahem. ...thrown in the air by himself. He could hold a quarter at arm's length, drop it, draw his gun, and shoot the thing before it hit the ground.

I'd love to be able to draw before it hit the ground, never mind getting a (remarkably accurate) shot off.

 

[jamespowers]

Yep, he was quite an expert marksman. :cheers1:
