Standard markings and features other than "Arvo Ojala" on the back strap. Includes a leather bound display case with brass plaque inscribed "Arvo Ojala/Hollywood." Ojala was a quick draw technical adviser and stuntman known for training western stars in the art of the quick draw and for his ability to draw and shoot within 1/6 of a second. He must have slowed himself down in order to loose the famous draw in the opening credits of the television series Gunsmoke. He remained active in Hollywood from the 1950s until at least 1990.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall with minor handling and storage marks and minor cylinder drag lines. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good with light storage wear.
