A Wild Bunch rig

[ChuckBurrows]

sort of....
Here's a Sunday go to meeting rig or if you're a Texan a BB-Q rig....
The knife, hand-forged and built by the late Gib Guignard aka CactusForge, with a sheath by me, aka Wild Rose Trading = CactusRose 21


The knife in the sheath...

Here's one of the pistol the rig was built for...


The rig was inspired by the fancy rigs worn by Texas Rangers in the 1920-30's. The owner didn't want that fancy though, so I came up with a carving pattern inspired by the carving on 18th Century American Long Rifles, built in Pennsylvania where the owner hails from. The holster, knife sheath, and the belt are all lined with calfskin and the rig is entirely handsewn. The metal throat on the sheath is nickel silver to match the knife's fittings and the small concho is Sterling silver. All parts are lightly aged....

Really outstanding work, pard. I like the simple, sweeping design. The understatement actually says more than full coverage. Thanks for sharing.

[Irish Dave]

Outstanding, Chuck. A striking outfit.
My compliments.

[Seth Shaw]

As always, very nice work from you. I just wanted to point out your're not only skilled in leather, but also skilled in photography! All of your pictures look like they came out of "Packing Iron"! (That's meant as a compliment!)
Thanks for sharing your work!

I like how you didn't leave the trigger exposed when in the holster. Never understood that , just a good way to shoot yourself in the leg. You give the rest of us something to aspire to, as far a quality of work.

Chuck, to say I love this rig would really be an understatement.  The carving pattern could not have been more perfect for this rig.  You once spoke of trying your hand at marketing a pattern set, well this one gets my vote.

That is one great looking rig.  The knife sheath is my favourite part.  The nickel silver throat with the concho is super.  Taking the longrifle style carving to leather is a fine touch.  Well done!!
