Holster for 1860 BP

GeorgiaWolf · August 09, 2009, 02:09:11 PM

Hey Y'all
Completed this holster recently for an 1860 Army Colt
Nothing fancy, just a clean uncluttered look. Started with medium brown English bridle and airbrushed with mahogany for a shaded effect. Right side carry.
I use a side welt in crafting my holsters and prefer an open toe.
Might keep it, might sell it.

Thanks for takin' a look!

Very clean lines GW. Gives it a nice slim classy look, just perfect for the 1860 which is my all time favorite shootin iron bar none. If you look at my avatar you will see that I put my money in a few. GB

GW the design and coloring are real nice and I like the plain style well done.

That looks great, GW. The airbrush adds just a skosh of depth to it. It really is a clean holster. Thanks for posting the picss.

Welcome to the forum. It'll be good to see more of your work. Looking forward to your posts.

Howdy GW,

That is a very elegant looking Holster. Very clean design with excellent workmanship! Many thanks for sharing this with us.

Ditto with the airbrush. I may have to get one. Seems like the only way to get a blotch-free finish.

Howdy GW, and Welcome to the Leather Shop, your holster looks great, nice simple lines, which is what was mostly used in the period.

I'll be looking to see more from you in the future

Best Regards

Very nice work. The look is impressive, and you don't have any stamping to "Hide" behind. Very nice color as well. Thanks for sharing, I'm looking forward to seeing more, JD
