I think it might be an earlier Rhodesian model due to the lack of a date marked along Rybka's initials and/or a special order due to the tension screw and the cant. Most of these I see lack the screw and are neutral cant. Musty, dusty and dirty when it arrived, it cleaned up well.

We later found that -db-'s holster is a Guatemalan model rather than a Rhodesian.
From the 1982 and 1991 catalogs: Muzzle forward carry is fast from crossdraw or appendix position. Not as concealable as the Rhodesian.
