That sort of thing happens in every industry, where you have expert photographers who know little or nothing of the thing they’re photographing. In the days of film, it was not unheard of to find widely distributed, slick posters that had the negatives flipped, showing backwards items. One of the big American musical instrument makers handed out a beautiful poster– a left-handed image of a trombone. I’ve also seen a complex, multi-color-lighted image poster of a totally done-up foxy babe on her knees “playing” a saxophone, with smoke in the background. Really a lot of work (and money) went into it. The saxophone mouthpiece was on upside-down and her hands were in the wrong places on the instrument. A total waste. Proof, People. Proof.

Then there’s the famous picture of Billy The Kid with his left-handed Winchester (loading gate of the left-hand side) due to its being a flipped image. So you could say that H&K has plenty of good company.
