Thanks, WWE. i went one border line and wrinkled the heck out of the lower part of the holster to give it a Chuck Burrows distress.
I'll post some pics soon.

Santee,

The project sounds both really neat looking and historically correct ... I look forward to seeing it!

My moniker is my great grandfather's name. He served with the 2nd Florida Mounted Regiment in the Civil War. Afterward, he came home, packed his wife into a wagon, and was one of the first NorteAmericanos on the Frio River southwest of San Antonio ..... Kinda where present day Dilley is ...

Well, Happy T-Day for me! My open top came in late yesterday. So, I am thankful...for my '71 open top conversion. Oh yeah, and my family, health, blah blah blah.
Here's the holster, plain and abused with some Chuck Burrows-style wrinkle action. Tomorrow I'll get some 0000 steel wool and work the areas of wear.

Did I mention the open top? :D

Santee,

Happy Birthday as well as Happy Bird-day!

The Slim Jim looks like it has bee sitting on some cowboy's hip for a long time, and congradulations on open top conversion acquisition   I have even shot a Richards-Mason, in .32 S&W ... and if it is anything like one of those, it is going to be a joy to own!

I used the pattern for a 51 Navy, and then added a hair for the ejector rod.

This is my problem now. I didn't add any extra room, and the pistol catches about 3/4 of the way down. Pretty sure it's hanging up on the ejector rod. May have to get the holster wet again and jam a hammer grip down there.

Howdy Santee,

Great looking Holster! It really compliments your new Open Top. Many thanks for sharing it with us.
