This original rig has everything a collector wants and is just as it came out of the attic. It is beautifully cartouched with this fine Maker's mark "R.E.Gibbons, Gainsville, Tex.". While it shows considerable use it is still very flexible although somewhat dry. If you are lucky enough to own a Sheriff's model which in itself is extremely rare, where would you find a period rig made specifically for it? Impossible to replace.

I thought this was a nice looking rig and thought some of my pards in The Leather Shop might enjot a look see also.

       This is another good example of period gun leather, and looks to be in good condition, even the money belt looks to be in good shape.

                              Steve thanks for the look see, and sharing this with us, along with the others too.

                                                     Regards

Shotgun Steve,

From the picture of the back it looks like you have 3 stich lines on the back.  Two are obviously the strap around the holster but is the third one through the holster and holding it to the back so the holster does not pull up when the pistol is drawn?

Thanks

Johnny, there are not three but four lines of stitching. Two of them are newer, reinforcing the original sewing on the loop.
