I think your right about the 50's. Mine had the same longhorn steers on the grips. And that was the 50's. But mine had the real genuine imitation pearl handles on them. Many a town sheriff went down from standing on the wrong end of them back then. Yeah I know I had that a little backwards. Which helps to explain somethings later in life. But the Doctor says I'm much better now.
Cool finds!! WTG!! HH
