"Dapper and Deadly"

I was looking through Robert Avrech's always-interesting Friday photo essay today, and saw this picture of Jacob Bryce, an FBI agent from back in the day (1930's through 1950's). The photo was taken by Gjon Mili in 1945.



Bryce was a fascinating character - as the title of the post indicates, "dapper and deadly". Here are a couple of articles about him.

What's that he's holding? Not the standard .38 snubnose is it? I'm no expert.

He generally carried a 44 Special, according to one of the articles.
