Dave, glad that you had a good time and are able to remember it ! WILLIE NELSON. Yes, sir. I dig him too. Not only does he make great music, he isn't bad as an ACTOR either. If you like hard, gritty Western Movies, ya gotta see " Red Headed Stranger ". He portrays a Christian Minister who turns killer and gunman. My favorite is " Barbarosa " , he plays an outlaw in the Wild West of Texas. In that film, he REALLY looks like an Outlaw would. Dirty clothing, unwashed, and looking pretty ragged. Even the pistols are accurate to the time. Colt conversions. These were cap and ball revolvers converted to .44 Rimfire cartridges after the Civil War. Willie really looks authentic in the part. Gary Busy also plays a good part. Gilbert Roland also does well, as the Father in Law who has tried to kill " Barbarosa " for about 20 years ! Find the film on line and enjoy !

This was the third design of the 2d Cavalry DUI, worn from 1924-1931. The sharp points on the ends of the bottom scroll again called for a redesign.
