Really really nice rigs and slides there! Wow

Those are beautiful, and thank you for showing your steps in creating them.

Thanks everybody, you are all very kind! Really, too kind, it's easy to pick my work apart and find the flaws if you look enough and that's what you wanted to do. I do strive to make good, solid, working gear that looks nice as well. Sometimes I hit the mark fairly well and sometimes I strike out. I'm sure you all know just what I mean  ! 

I do appreciate the kind words and I was happy to show some of my process for building a Threepersons holster and give some insight to my "fancy" border and how I tool them.

Hope you all have a great day!

Exceptionally nice workmanship. Functional artwork done in leather!

Beautiful work. Thank you for the insight into production thread as well. One day I hope to do work like this. Go well and thank you for sharing.  

I do have a question. Is the left six shooter antiqued and the remaining two not, or is it a lighting difference?

Thanks BullMoose! You are correct, the holster on the left was finished with Fiebings liquid black antique and the other two were finished with Fiebings Hi-Liter.

Beautiful !!!  Been anxiously waiting to see these all finished up. Almost too pretty to use !!! 

Thanks for sharing your talent !!!

One last question, please?  What type maker’s mark do you use?  Steel, brass,  delrin???  What size or width ( 1 1/4” ? ) and do you stamp it with a maul or use a press??  It looks perfect, like the rest of your work. 

Thanks again

Thanks again Humbug! As for my maker's mark, I got it from Infinity Stamps Inc. (https://www.infinitystamps.com/collections/leather-collection/products/custom-leather-hand-stamp). They aren't cheap by any means, but it is a quality stamp that will outlast me. Mine is roughly 1" tall x 1-1/2" wide. If I ordered one again I'd likely have it made slightly smaller so I could use it on 3/4" wide strap goods. I use a maul to stamp it. It's large enough that I had to get the hang of it to avoid getting a little bounce which lead to a double impression. 

All the best, Josh

Thanks again for your reply. I tried to measure it from your pics but couldn’t get to work out right. Good info. I appreciate your patience!!
