Genuine Al Stohlman Holster

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

"Load of waffle" in Britsh means "a bunch of gobbledegook" to us.

Well, it's all written in plain english. Seems like it ought to be pretty comprehensible.

No it doesn't. Just means a lot of talk
