Wheel guns and leather

[BE Mike]

Had another one with oak leaves to go with it, must have belonged to a cop at one time. Guy I bought it from is pretty good at ID on this stuff, he said really old. Clark leather made holsters and before that they made saddles and horse leather. They were bought out by Bucheimer at some point in time and these were made before that. He did say that in their time the Clark brand was the premier western lawman's shoulder holster, prized by cops and private detectives. I like stuff with a historical story, who knows who wore these and when.

Back in the day, a lot of folks took pride in their leather. That is a beautifully made rig. I remember that back in the 70's the Daytona Beach Police Dept. carried S.D. Myers leather. All of it was floral carved. It really looked sharp.

I am lucky enough to have an Amish leather guy that made this holster for my 44 mag.

I sure hope not.

I picked up an ELpaso saddlery mini scabbard for my model 36 pictured on page 1. I need to get a picture for the thread.

This George Lawrence holster was made long before my Ruger SBH Bisley, but the fit is perfect. Picked up this Speer bullet board a while back, goes well with the sign I got from Indiucky.

Great picture. It depicts a whole experience, one that looks very inviting!

You guys are going to make me dig deep into the old Photobucket account! Some great guns, leather and photography here. I've ot some older pics, and it makes me sick looking back through some of them, seeing great old guns I no longer have...

Here's an early attempt at floral carving. Its ugly but it works fine to carry the 1947 K-22 its holding

This is my 'wedding gun' given to me by my wife as a weddign present. It's a USFA Turnbull Cowboy CLassic .32-20, 7 1/2" barrel in a custom made, hand carved Cheyenne double loop rig made by a freind of mine.
