doubleh Report post Posted April 20, 2023 I am not a fan of Schofield revolvers but that certainly a nice rig to carry them in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastorBob Report post Posted April 20, 2023 nice looking rig indeed. Is the belt made from a piece of folded leather? I only see one stitch line; on the top. Is this for the money belt portion? Can you post some pics of the inside showing how you did the money belt? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then the end is left open for silver dollars and such. Like the money belts of the 19th century. Let me see if I have some more pics of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is a photo of the opening though. There is a slot in it that the belt billet goes through to keep money from falling out. 2 hours ago, doubleh said: I am not a fan of Schofield revolvers but that certainly a nice rig to carry them in.

Double Daddy Report post Posted April 20, 2023 Whoo-eee, Boy! I do like me some Schofield revolvers...and a brace of them, at that! Sure is a nice rig...heirloom work you've done there. I really like the color you picked and the border stamping....not "too fancy" and it compliments the shooting irons quite well. The money belt is a great design for this type of setup too...well executed! Thanks for sharing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wanted a little embelishment on the holsters but nothing over the top so just did a simple border stamping. 42 minutes ago, PastorBob said: That is pretty cool. Never seen such! well done!! It was a popular design in the 19th century. Kind of an easy way to carry your money or small valuables right there on/in your gun belt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Normally I like to use Hermann Oak leather for most of my stuff but this is just some Tandy In Store Special stuff they had on sale one day when I was in there. Can't remember what exactly it is but its pretty nice stuff. 11 hours ago, bladegrinder said: That looks great! Thanks.
