Where to get swivel for a holster

[Randy Cornelius]

I have been asked to make the holster in the attached picture. But I am not sure where to get the larger silver looking swivel. I know this is an old style Law Enforcement holster used back in the early 60-80's So I am not sure if it's even available anymore. Any help would be appreciated.

Check e-bay. Years ago a forum member found one there. That's the only idea that I have.

Some type of Chicago screw with female post long enough to set through both pieces of leather without screw tightening down and binding. That will allow the piece to swivel. It's how I do my attachments on shoulder holsters and similar so pieces can pivot and move a bit.

Thats a clever idea

May I add; just an idea, punch a hole larger than needed and fit a sail eyelet for the C/S to bear on rather than the leather

I have used copper rivets for swivels. solder a cap/concho of your choice on and use a larger washer on the back side.

There is a thread on this very topic in this forum.  I have a holster like that I bought many moons ago for my K frame.  It was made by Tex Shoemaker, which unfortunately has gone out of business.
