It sounds a little unusual, but my father also had some kind of a break-open .38 revolver that he carried when he sold cattle. That was in the days before trucks and the cattle were loaqded on the train and sent to Omaha market. Dad rode along in the caboose and after the cattle were sold, took the money in cash. He had to stay in a hotel over night and slept with the money in a money belt around his waist and that 38 in his hand. He never did tell me where it went. But that was a different time, and he was protecting what he had worked hard to earn.
