Flintlock Holster

[camano ridge]

Here is something a little different. A Customer wanted a Baldric (shoulder belt) and holster for a Traditions Trapper .50 Cal flint lock. It is a big pistol 15.5" weighing about 3pounds. He wanted it to look more Mountain man or Frontiersman like, he did not want it to look like a pirate baldric. and wanted it to have the spirit of late 1700s early 1800's. He wanted it to cover the frizzen and the flint, with a little bit of the barrel sticking out of the toe. He also decided he wanted a retention/safety strap, however it had to be in keeping with the general appearance so no snaps. I had to think of what an enterprisinbg mountainman or frontiersman might have availble to use. Here is what i came up with.
