Finished Big Rig For Dealer

[George B]

Hey All, finifhed the giant rig ordered by a local gunshop. Used antique dye for the first time and kinda like the effect.

Measures 84.5" long, 5" wide with the only 4" buckle I could find.

Can't figure out how the holster came out redder than the belt. Same side, same oiling, antiquing, etc. took the belt out of the back and the holster out of the belly, maybe that was it. Left handed rig that holds 6 .50 cal. or 12 ga. shotgun shells.

It looks outstandimg. Why is it left handed if nobodys gonna accually use it?

[George B]

Thank you all. It;s left handed so when it hangs above the register counter it does not block any of the items on the wall for sale.

George, great piece of work, I think you are on to the reason the holster is a bit different in color. Bellies seem to take dye differently than backs or shoulders from the same hide. FWIW, Bellies seem (to me) to also be a bit 'softer' that either the back or shoulder. I use backs for heavy 'historically correct' stuff and shoulders for most of my other holsters. By the way, it's a bit large for me, but as a southpaw, I can appreciate it. Mike
