Sheriff's SAA
Floyd Randolph, 1930s Sheriff, Carter Co., Ardmore, OK. Friend of my Father, he & my uncle had 'cowboyed' together in their youth. His SAA, now property of LGS owner. Sheriffs force in lower right, I recall half of them by name. Upper left is father of my best childhood friend. Their sidearms, of those I knew, carried a S&W .44 Triple Lock --
Later years, 1960s, Randolph had a saddle shop across from my Dad's gun shop & I several times visited with my Dad, talking, smoking, drinking with the old timers. I was something of a curiosity to them, me, to them, a world traveler & couple of them recalling visiting France in WW-One ----->

I worked with a guy on the PD, whose Dad was a Sheriff in Texas. He carried a Colt SAA in .38-40 and my friend inherited it.

Gotta like SAAs, more so one with a notable history.
