Beautiful job. What brand of leather restorer did you use on the holster?

Dish soap and luke warm water. Actually I replaced the dried out strap, leg tie down and hammer thong. The holster itself wasn't too dried out,but I'm going to look into something called "Pickard's" antique leather stuff and apply it.

It looks pretty nice, except it backwards. What'd you do, make a mirror image of one and accidently reverse it?

I'm backwards. I live in an alternet universe like that indian in Little Big Man who was a "Contrar" and did everything in reverse. It was such a lucky break finding that lefty Ojala holster, even though my wife can't see what the big fuss is about. But she was just on the internet looking for these special "hangers". Hangers!! Geez!
