Ruger guns. . . . .

[Dick Dastardly]

We know Ruger firearms.  They are called Sturm Ruger.  We have a notion of who Wm. Ruger was.  We know less of Alexander Sturm.  So, I looked it up and share here.

Alexander McCormick "Alex" Sturm (June 23, 1923 – November 16, 1951) was an American artist, author, and entrepreneur who co-founded in 1949, the American firearm maker, Sturm, Ruger & Co. Sturm provided the start-up money and designed the Germanic heraldic eagle that is found on Ruger guns.

FWIW, my original vaqueros often fill my holsters at SASS matches.  They are GREAT black powder guns.
