I'm also a fan of Hunter holsters. This old cross-draw has carried various J frames for many years, and is still my favorite

I too am a fan of Hunter Holsters. They are hard to beat for open carry while afield. I have several that don't see as much use as I would like, but I keep hoping retirement will soon arrive. I have an eBay saved search for them and they very often turn up at low cost. But then, my handguns are all shooters, no collectable safe queens.

Here, on the left, is my floral carved Hunter carrying my Ruger .44 Mag.
On the right is my Hunter buscadero rig with Paladin Knight.

Yours looks like the same model as mine except maybe a little
longer, and much better cared for. Some knothead oiled mine
up too much.

In 1971 I bought a Ruger Blackhawk , Hunter floral "carved" gun belt , Hunter fast draw holster to make a rig just like the TV Western hero's all carried , leather leg tie down...I was a "gunslinger" !
I still have it but but sadly my waist expanded (or the belt shrunk) ....it don't fit no more but I can't let it go. The Hunter rig was my first .
One day I might loose weight.....
My rig sorta looked like crazyphil's , only brown leather and floral carved....cool !

Sounds like you got a winner with some sentimental value too. I would just take the holster off the old belt and get a new belt made that closely matches the old one. Forget about loosing weight and become a TV western hero again!

I got to thinking about what you said , discovered Hunter is still in business , they still make my Frontier , " quick draw" , holster.
Today it costs $160.00 !!!!
Checked out the cost of a new Western Single Drop Gun Belt
Would you believe ..... $115.00 !!!! Holey Moley .
If the old drop belt design were practical I might consider it but I soon learned that rig might be good for fast draw....but that was about it. The gun rode down too low . I soon got a Bianchi 1L Lawman holster that rides higher up on a regular belt and found it much more practical and useful.
I might go look at Ebay and see if I can find a cheaper used one , get back into watching Gunsmoke and Marshall Dillion.
