Members Warren Posted November 17, 2007 Members Report Posted November 17, 2007 This is my latest holster. I made it for a friend of mine. He got this pistol from his grandfather. It's a chrome plated .32 caliber Smith & Wesson with real bone grips. It was made in 1925. He wanted a period correct western shoulder rig. It's got more tooling done on it than any of the pictures I could find of shoulder holsters from that era, but the shape and contruction are correct according to my research. He wanted the extra tooling and the customer is always right! Hope y'all like it. Quote
Billy P Posted November 17, 2007 Report Posted November 17, 2007 The little green man I am trying to send is me full of envy of your really good work. I do have a question though is the holster and the bottom part of the shoulder yoke all one piece of leather? Thanks for sharing with us, Billy P Quote
Members Warren Posted November 17, 2007 Author Members Report Posted November 17, 2007 No Billy it's not. It's 2 pieces. The front of the holster is sewn down the back edge to the yoke, then folded over and sewn along the front edge to form the pouch. Quote
Ambassador Luke Hatley Posted November 17, 2007 Ambassador Report Posted November 17, 2007 VERY NICE..... how did you like working with that "meander tool" for me that is the hardest tool that i have ever tried to work with!!! Quote
Members Warren Posted November 18, 2007 Author Members Report Posted November 18, 2007 I had to remake the front of the holster because I messed up the meander up on the first one. I have all 3 sizes that Craftool makes. It can be very frustrating to use, but I like the way it loks. Quote
