Bonanza is actually one of my least favorite westerns but I call these Bonanza rigs because I haven't bothered to put bullet loops on the belts I made. The longer Arvo Ojala was bought new in 1985 when I had a 30' waist. Now it's 36" so I made a new belt but used an Andy Anderson pattern my friend had sent me to try the different contour. Original belt on top. Shorter holster found on ebay long ago. Both belt contours are equally comfortable.

you could call it the little Joe special since he was left handed ..............................

Here's yet another Ebay Ojala lefty holster I also made a belt for and if i left the loops off it would be identical to little joe's rig except he had adjustible billets on his. The stuff in this frame was sent to me by Ojala after I talked to him on the phone. The holster was only $16 so I cleaned it up, replaced the strap, hammer thong and tie down and made the belt for it. Bottom shows rare Buntline rig I sold, which you can see in the book "Holstery". and a little Ojala I made for my son when he was about 4 or 5 I guess. He's 37 now.

Wow---beautiful stuff. Love old gun leather but even your new stuff is great.
