Frank Report post Posted February 23, 2011 Hey All, Since there were site issues, here are the photos again. I was not able to get back to one of you who commented. I apologize because I did not save the email. Feel free to post or comment again so I can get back to you with any questions. I do not post a lot of photos until I am ready to update my website. Here are a bunch of holsters and rigs that I completed for customers. Some are re-creations from Packing Iron, re-creations from movies, customer creations, and one holster and tooling pattern that cam from Jim Simmons. My customers really keep me on my toes with new ideas and creations. I really do love this job. Frank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frank Report post Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Thanks everyone. I really do appreciate the comments and the feedback. I knew something was wrong when I didn't hear but one or two comments the first time I posted. That's when I found out the site had a hiccup and deleted a bunch of posts. The one I forgot to post was the "Duke" belt and holster I finished for a guy. I posted it in a different area of the site for someone who needed assistance on the same style belt. Here it is again.

Dwight Report post Posted February 25, 2011 You do some excellent work, . . . are definitely an asset to the leather working community. I love that square, single star buckle, . . . where did you find that one? And the Duke rig, . . . did you leave one end open for a money belt too? I did one like that, . . . will stuff a couple Sacajawea dollar coins and some simulated Confederate paper in there when I sell it. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank Report post Posted February 25, 2011 Dwight, I really appreciate the comments. The buckle is a custom one from Tim and Jamie Parsley at Civil War Buckles They were great people to work with. The buckle was originally a 3 prong standard plate and they built a mold for it to be made into a 2 piece sword belt plate. They will also make them in a standard belt buckle as well. I think they prices start at around $20.00 and then go up another $2-$3 for the belt buckle style and then up another $10 for the 2 piece sword belt plate. I tell you, I will only purchase from them now for those style buckles as they seem very eager to work with getting you what you need in a timely fashion. Most of my SASS, CAS, and NCOWS customers have purchased from them. I think I have put a total of 6 Parsley buckles on belts. The sword belt plates and spoon buckles are easier to work with, giving adjustment on one or both side of the belt, depending on custom preference. The Duke belt for the customer was actually sewn all the way around as was John Wayne's belt. It was made to his request. As for my personal belt like that, it is open and I use it to stash my hunting license when I am out in the woods becasue I hate to carry a wallet. If you need any info on Parsleys, PM me your email and I can forward the photos and prices they sent along to me. Frank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
