Fredk and Chuck. Model 1913 Colt 45 WW1 Revolver trench gun replaced ruger by cutting barrel to 3 1/2. They were using Ruger's but need more weapons in trench. The short barrel allows user to turn in confined trench. So the barrel was cut and has no sights.                         Chuck I tried 3 different straps ideas. Either would cover to much of my carving or would not be ideal for the belt. I choose this angle because flowed with my pattern. Thanks for the comments.

Ruger was founded in 1949, even after WWII, let alone WWI.......  How did they get the Rugers' in 1914......or am I missing something?  Bill was a friend, we'd argue about everything, old cars, guns.....
