In my previous post - A Sheath Threesome some of ya'll expressed interest in seeing some of my holsters. Well you asked for em.....you got 'em
An early 1860's Plainsman style Slim Jim for a Colt 1860 Army Cap'n Ball
Another Slim Jim - with full kit (this is one of my all time favorite rigs)
A closeup
An early 1870's modified Slim Jim - it has a narrow Mexican Loop skirt style belt loop
An early 1880's classic Cheyenne style holster and cartridge belt
A pair of early 1880's Miles City double riveted loop style holsters (strong right hand and cross draw) and cartridge belt-
A classic 1880's single riveted loop, full carved Miles City holster and money belt (the money belt of the period was a strip of 4 oz leather folded in half length wise - the top edge and two ends were sewn closed and a slot was cut under the buckle - look close and you can see it - this formed a long tube of leather. "Hard" money (i.e coin $10.00 gold pieces, etc.) was then slipped through the slot and when the tongue was run through the buckle it "locked: the pouch.
And here's a Cheyenne drop loop holster full carved in the classic 1920's style of Tio Sam Myres of El Paso, Tx.
Thanks to Sandy M for the carving pattern - I had never done one like this before having carved only in the 19th century style or in "my" engraving style - and Sandy kindly drew this one up for me.

No, I hadn't. Dan's way too subtle for me.
