Since I was a Captain in the U.S. Cavalry stationed in Belgium, I needed a horse. When the Wilbanks
sisters made it into Marwencol, they brought with them an array of sidearms and an 1860 Henry rifle (which I was
dying to shoot at something). Anna liked to carry her 1878, .38 cal., Colt Lightning and I liked my 1873, .45 cal. Colt
"Peacemaker" with a "Stag" handle pistol grip. Anna and the rest of the town liked the feel of the clothing and the
balance of the weapons. The holsters are leather and hand-made by an artist in Knoxville, Tennessee. The Wilbanks
sisters carried their chrome-plated .45 cal. 1873 Colt "Peacemaker".
We had heard that there were another group of SS wandering around outside of town, and one of them was
an SS Cavalryman, with a horse!! There were the three SS that escaped from Marwencol in that group of idiots
outside of town, and as luck would have it, the SS Major sent in the Cavalry guy...
