Default Very unusual holster/gunbelt.

I saw this in a local pawnshop...I've never seen anything like it. It's made from thick, heavy leather, very well done. It will hold a handgun and knife up above the belt line. The pawn shop owner said it was brought in by a man with back problems.

I agree---never seen one like it. If the price was right I would have a tough time walking away from it. Guess I really do have a leather fetish---er I mean thing.

What a cool find. A lot of us could use a knife/gun combo.

Unusual for sure. Also appears to be for left handed.
Maybe if you wear it you too can have back problems.

I think it is a chastity belt with a built in holster and sheath in case the belt fails.

With the 2 buckles I guess he could wear it to the back or side. Or he did that so he could enlarge it as his waist got bigger.
Interesting.

I'm wondering if the back problems came before or after he started wearing it.

Looks to me like some sort of leg holster? It seems way to small for a persons waist.

I'm guessing it's for mounting on an animal - maybe a horses neck?

Or maybe they started issuing revolvers to the really smart dogs in K9 units and this is how the dog carries a gun and a retrieval bumper on his back : )

I'd strap that on the front fork of my Harley and ride the range.
