This shoddy Rival 78 Shorty was once property of William Salter, named for his "beloved" Mary. Taken from his corpse by the Twins, it went on to be used for more honorable purposes.
With hide as tough as armor and gruesome, rusty teeth, this Rival 78 Shorty’s bite is as fearsome as that of its namesake. Designed by Seven-D, a runner-up in Hunt's 2nd anniversary weapon skin contest.
