An old timer friend of mine (RIP), worked for the Post Office during the 1920s-30s as a Special Delivery messenger, delivering on a motorcycle. He said he carried a 1917 Smith while working there. The postal system doesn't really have a service like that anymore. He said he handled a lot of diamonds and securities because it was the most secure way to do it.
