The holster on left is F.O.Baird pattern, right is Will Ghormley pattern. Both are good patterns, tooling takes some practice as you can see.

Hey there those are both very different in the designs, and you can see the influence of each maker. What did you use for the finish?

Neats foot oil with dark brown oil dye, after a dip in black water tank (rust tank). I want them to look old I think they do.

If you want them to look old, you should dye the brilliant white stitching. It kind of glares at you.
