Found This Forum Looking For Cap &ball Revolver Holster Patterns

[St8LineGunsmith]

Hello Everyone

I was performing a google search for holster patterns when this forum was one of the results

I think I can learn a lot about leather work here so I registered.

I piddle around now and then making miscellaneous things out of leather and made several holsters

and also worked for a saddle maker when i was a teenager so I learned a few things back then

I have always wanted to make some nice hand made and hand stitched holsters and now that I have time on my hands

I am going to do just that.

ifn any one can point me in the direction of some authentic holster patterns that will fit the 1851 colts and 1858 Remmys would be awesome

I know Tandy has a vast library but I was goung to check and see if there were any one offering some freebies first

going to need some help with which which are the most basic and essental stamps for carving

Thanks!

You will probably need to adjust the pattern as it is for an 1860 Army instead of the 51 Navy. But it should be awful close and is a great tutorial. The post pinned at the very top of the Holster section takes you step by step through making your own pattern.
