More history. That holster above with my Bisley was built for this 1873 Colt:

Lets go retro for a bit:

How retro? This Colt was built in1877. Here's the story as related by the current owner when he came to pick up the new holster I'd built him and brought the Colt to check for fit. The owner is an older guy, a Vietnam vet. He said that his great, great grandfather owned a ranch outside of Columbus NM. A guy came riding in on a sore footed and done in horse. He ended up trading this Colt for a fresh mount. As a young boy the current owner would spend summers there at his now great grandmother's ranch. It became a tradition that every Friday he would clean the Colt for her. When it was coming time, she was speaking to his grandmother on who she should leave the Colt too. They both decided that the current owner was the one to leave it to. However the grandmother told the great grandmother that if I don't take it to California with me now, he'll never see it. Apparently lots of uncles and other relatives that were interested in it. The great grand mother agreed and the grandmother brought it to California. She presented it to the current owner on his 13th birthday. He's had it ever since.

First...a grand story to accompany a beautiful pistol.
Second....exemplary leather work.
Thanks for sharing.

The 1911 has been carried for quite a few years longer than these 2 knives, but I agree with you that they all look better with some wear on them.

Awesome leatherwork. The colt looks great in the holster but so do the EMP and knife you made. The 610 is no slouch either

I understand. Versatile caliber and awesome gun

 

[Horsewright]

Great guns, great story, but... especially great leather! Hope to work with you on that subject some day.

Ya bet. Thanks for the kind words.
