The strap on yours doesn't detract from the threepersons definition, not least because the original threepersons styles from Myres -- there were many -- several had straps, and the auto always had a strap. The No. 2 started out strapless and had a strap added to it within a decade or so.

Here below left is an early, well worn, Myres Threepersons
with not only the safety strap, but also the hammer protector.
To the right it is shown hosting my model 67 Combat Masterpiece,
accessorized with a Sparks gunbelt and Benchmade knife.
