  • 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]
  • 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]
  • Support For its high EV. SMasters (talk) 08:22, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
