ca 1880, cdv-sized tintype of three men all with mustaches, matching hats, shirts and vests and all wearing holster belts with revolvers. This photograph was found by our consignor at a local farm auction near Wichita, Kansas.

It's kinda funny how they pulled their holsters around so you can for sure see their guns. It's a typical 'Cop' deal.
Yes, I do have more facial hair now.

Also secures it better tucked up near yer belly when riding a horse, 4-Wheeler or an old open cab tractor.  Learned that many years ago.
