Found some nice antique holsters at the local gunshow

afternoon everyone 

just thought I'd share this lovely holster my lady picked out at our local gunshow.  It has a definite bump on the side for an ejector assembly but no tell-tale hump on the upper ridge for a topstrap.  I'm thinking it had either a conversion or old open top in it for most of it's working life.


backside:


it has wonderfully deep carving, and she's decided that a full skirt is the way to go for her gunrig.  It's a bit short for her full size navy, but she's going to use it as a template for the ones she's going to make.  We're even doing a rubbing of the carving to try and replicate that as well.

just thought it'd be fun to share with everyone here!

That's a good-looking holster, Willie. I actually like the look of the barrel protruding a little like it does but for a fully functional holster, that could be a drawback if the front sight snags. Looking forward to the completed rig.
