The letters were something I drew myself. The lining is 1.5oz kip from Tandy....The leather is 6oz from the scrap bin.

Any idea what I should charge for this thing? Not being a holster maker, I have no idea.

David, I've bought similarly styled holsters without the tooling and braiding for around $70. It really matters how much time you have in it and what your time is worth. I wouldn't have a problem paying $85- $100 for it.

Thanks Grumpy,

This guy is a friend so I told him $60.....He said he had a LOT of buddies who will want one when they see his.... I told him that the price for his friends is $90.... I think I have about 10-12 hours in it......maybe less. It sounds like I hit it about right.....for his friends at least.

Dave Theobald......thanks again

Wow, that's high praise coming from the holster master.....thanks much Don. It is much appreciated. I do a lot of motorcycle seats; but hardly any holsters....I've now done a total of 3....one for my Ohio State Highway Patrol son, one for an FBI agent in Atlanta, GA. and now this one for a friend at work. So, I really haven't seen what's out there on the net.....nor have I looked at prices on what's available....

Thanks again Don,

Dave Theobald
