An honor to make this

It was an honor to make this Holster. It is for good friend of mine's 107 year old Colt SAA. It is loosely based on a Holster shown in Packing Iron on page-101. Again, home brewed Walnut dye followed by Neet's Foot Oil and Skidmores.

The Pistol shown with the cards and coins is the 107 year old Colt

Many thanks for the kind words Gents.

Cliff, the pistol in the picture is my USFA SAA. I'll try to get a picture of my friend's Colt.

Beautiful work Johnny, that was a nice style then and now, and the old colt looks just dandy riding in it

Ah I see that now, I though at first gland it looked very nice for a 100 year old gun.

I got the holster today and am VERY happy with it!!! I have been wanting a !st gen. frontier six shooter for a couple of
years and finally found an affordable one at the Rock Island auction co. a couple months ago. I was pretty excited
about finally getting the real deal and told my friend Johnny about it, and being the GREAT guy that he is , he wanted to make
a holster for me. So now I have a wonderful piece of history with a holster made by a special friend. VERY COOL. I will try
to post a picture soon.

Well done sir

I wore the new holster and Colt in public Sat. for the first time. I was asked to do a talk about guns that
won the west at a wild west event at Cassville Wi.. After that was over I was invited to help
in a reenactment of Buffalo Bills wild west show, that was a lot of fun
