Eaglestroker Report post Posted May 26, 2014 Had the idea for something similar to this for a couple years now but webbing in less than 1000+ yard quantities has proven a challenge to find, until a fellow LW.net member was able to aid me. There was a turn of the century belt designed with canvas loops on a leather belt mainly for rifle cartridges - but the case still on leather did not prevent verdigris from happening over time. This one is a base of 10 oz english bridle veg tan I'd had around the shop for quite some time from a W&C overstock sale way back. It comes tannery stuffed with hot waxes and requires no final finish with a very beautiful red color. Made this one for my 32 H&R collection. It's a fairly rough prototype on all accounts but they are usable for me to beat around on. Holds 42 rounds of the little 32's and is comfortable as can be with either but especially my Vaquerito riding around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Report post Posted May 30, 2014 That is beautiful work! It's a good example of the Mills Pattern cartridge belt made for the cavalry in the late 1800s. There are a number of history buffs who should be interested in such a belt. Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are a number of history buffs who should be interested in such a belt. Jim Thanks Jim. I've seen a few variations of the Mills belt, which muddied the water on what it should be called for me. I've also see a Fairweather/Christian belt similar to this design as well. That's a super classy set up Rob, great job on both the leatherwork and the pictures!! Best regards, Josh Hey Josh, thanks for the words. The photos are the funnest part! Great attention to detail and execution Much appreciated! Very nice! Thanks! You done good!! Mike Thank you Mike!

Eaglestroker Report post Posted June 3, 2014 (edited) Clean and neat. Awesome. Thanks Red! What stitcher do you use? I'm thinking of upgrading and moving up from my Boss, and am considering all of my options. I came from a Boss to the Cobra Class 4 from Steve. It makes the Tippmann look bad in every way imaginable. Beautiful. Period. Simple and clean is one of the hardest designs to execute and you nailed it. Appreciate the kind words! Excellent. Love the bird's head grip. They look good and handle very nicely! Top notch! Love those six guns Thank you! Edited June 3, 2014 by Eaglestroker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dwight Report post Posted June 26, 2014 "Beautiful" does not do the work justice, . . . I think "Stunning", . . . kinda like Cinderella stepping out of the pumpkin coach that very first time, . . . describes it for me. Keep up the good work.
