Horsepen,
Nice coloring and tooling!  Question about the belt is that one layer of leather or two?

Johnny Dingus

[HorsePen Henry]

Johnny, the belt is one layer and is 9-10 oz. veggy. The holster is 6-7 oz. veggy. I like the lighter holsters personally. The old time holsters tend to be lighter than many makers use nowadays. But that is everyones preferences at work. I surely appreciate the lot a ya. Yer a great bunch to hang with. Thanks for all the compliments and comments.

Cheers,

Real purty! Wonder if one of Will Ghormley's brass buckles would be too much for that rig?

[Marshal Will Wingam]

One of Will's new clip corner buckles would look good on it.

[HorsePen Henry]

I have one of Will's silver ovals coming as soon as the foundary gets a roundtuit. Nice buckles fer sure!!!

Waitin' on leather to get just right fer stamping and tooling is like watching water boil.

[Dalton Masterson]

Those look great!!
I saw a dispatch bag with a single handle at the top with the same construction sell at an auction this last weekend. It went high. But it was very cool. I wanted to take some pics but the buyer wouldnt let me. Thanks for posting this, so I have an idea of construction! DM

[Mogorilla]

The saddle bags look great!!   where do you get the brass slots?  I have looked for those for some time.
