Fathers Day Gift Set

Recommended Posts

Another interesting little project to provide some diversion from routine production.

My apprentice's father owns a highly customized Ruger Blackhawk in .476 Linebaugh with 4" ported barrel, unfluted 5-shot cylinder, birdshead grip in buffalo horn, Bisley-style hammer and guard, nicely engraved with the "big five" game animals. She wanted to have a holster made for him as a Fathers Day gift, so we went to work.

The revolver was smuggled out of the house to our shop for patterning, then again for fitting the holster. A few of those massive .476 cartridges were also needed to form the cartridge slide. As long as we were making the holster I decided that a matching belt and cartridge slide were called for.

Classic Threepersons-style holster of 8-oz. HO lined with 4-oz. calfskin, basketweave tooling. Matching belt of 10-oz. HO with matching lining, 1.75" tapered to 1" at the front, engraved Jeremiah Watt buckle. Five-round cartridge slide completes the set.

So, a one-of-a-kind rig for a one-of-a-kind revolver. This one should be suitable for any nice barbeque.

Really Nice Work! Especially the Molding/fitting, I'd just hate to find the bluegun to match that!

Lobo, I've said it before , but still worth saying again...you do great work! (I'd like to get my mitt's on that shooter.....it kinda makes my pet 3" Mod-24 .44 look like a pea-shooter I'll bet) Mike

Another fine job, . . . but then we didn't expect any thing else.

Looks like your apprentice is coming along fine, too, . . . at least thinking about jobs, . . . getting the right mind set.

May God bless,

Dwight
