AlZilla Report post Posted July 1 I struggled a bit with where to put this one. On another forum there's a post about a genuine Al Stolhman holster. Carved in his familiar floral style and sporting his makers stamp. I don't know if these are common, uncommon or what, but it's the first one I've seen. Maybe others will find it interesting, too. https://smith-wessonforum.com/gun-leather-carry-gear/724748-al-stohlman-holster.html?posted=1#post142025031 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheilajeanne Report post Posted July 3 (edited) Since Al made just about every conceivable thing out of leather, it comes as no surprise to me that he'd make holsters. But proving the holster was actually made by him, and not someone copying him...well, that's another story. I'd have to see proof of provenance from the seller. Would love to see a photo! Do you have access to one? Edit: Al actually did a book on making holsters. His books always featured photos, or at least drawings of the items he'd made, showing the steps in the construction. For every pattern he published and every Craftaid he put his name on, there was an actual piece of leather work he'd made. https://tandyleather.ca/products/how-to-make-holsters-book?_pos=1&_psq=How+to+make+hol&_ss=e&_v=1.0 Edited July 3 by Sheilajeanne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlZilla Report post Posted July 5 https://smith-wessonforum.com/gun-leather-carry-gear/724748-al-stohlman-holster.html Yeah, I guess you have to be logged in to see them. Oh, well. Annoying, but it's not my board. I won't post links there any more. Quote All I got on that link was a load of waffle whatever that means ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
