I just have to replace the latigo spring covers and re-build a toe plug to get it up and running again. So many projects to learn new things and so little time. Still need to do Brill's , and Spark's and belts oh my!
I've some great pics of the B-M plugs; I'll PM you with my email address (though we've emailed before I've lost track). Way to 'make' a Speed holster is to take apart a ruined one that has a good spring; you can even make the leather patterns from it. Happy to help with Brill, too; I set about replicating it and couldn't get interested in copying it; every simplification of it for modern times turned it more and more into a Threepersons-style.
