Members llasso Posted January 18, 2008 Members Report Posted January 18, 2008 Good Morning, Please find picture of the Roy Rogers Reproduction Gun Belt and Holster set I just finished. This rig took about 60 hours from start to finish. It is made from 8/9oz leather with 4/5oz leather lining. The belt is 3.5” wide and is set at 39” center it will go down to 37” and up to 41”. This rig is completely carved even under the billet straps and the holster flaps are also carved. I have attached a retention strap to this rig that is blind stitched. That means you do not see it from the front side of the belt. It also has two access entry points in the back of the belt that allow to change the buckle if you so desire.. These points allow the screws on the buckle to be sub- surface , so as not to mar the leather . There are hammer thongs on each holster. There are 36 bullet loops for 45 or 44 caliber bullets. The holsters are made for a Colt SAA 45, The toes of the holsters are open so any length barrel should work. Oil has been applied to the rig and two separate dies were applied. The finish is a satin sheen that allows for a moisture barrier. This rig is completely leather lined. The only thing you see when you look at the back is the thread and entry points to change the buckle. The ornamentation consists of nickel spots and a very special buckle set on the belt. The holster bands are laired between the top leather and lining so you do not see them from the back side. The hammer thongs were also configured in the same way. You will also notice that the buckle sets on the holsters match the buckle set on the gun belt Quote

Cecil Posted January 18, 2008 Report Posted January 18, 2008 That is a real beauty. Brings back memories of my childhood. Quote Cecil Wakelin http://home.bellsouth.net/p/s/community.dl...d=359493&ck=
Members gunfighter48 Posted January 18, 2008 Members Report Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) Gorgeous work, just gorgeous. I grew up in the 50s so it does bring back memories of the cap gun holster that I played with back then. I used to do cowboy action shooting and would have been walking on cloud 9 to have a holster set like that!!!!!!

Members skip Posted January 18, 2008 Members Report Posted January 18, 2008 very nice set up, I also liked your explanation of what you did and how you did it. watch the rubie crystals on the buckel as they have a tendency to get lost. again nice tooling and spot job! Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted January 18, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted January 18, 2008 Fantastic and the time it took shows in the quality of the end product. What would the rig cost retail these days? I would guess 350 to 400 dollar range? Quote
