My most vintage firearm; one of my father's handguns dating from his LEO career. He got it from a friend sometime in the
60's and the frame shows a faint engraving: "JCPD". Jersey City (NJ) Police. It is chambered for the .32 police ctg. (.32 S&W long). The handgun dates from the 20's, the Jay Scott grips form somewhat later. The holster is a Federal Man by Bucheimer. Old school.

Steve,
The engraving on the Colt is fabulous....who did it (factory?)
I think the ivory grips make it PERFECT.....from D.Chesiak???

I found an old Colt you will like, but it is nowhere near the quality and beauty of the .32 you have.

Well they just have to be vintage, not pretty...my Colt 1903, type 1 from 1907, with beat up Heiser 923. The gun probably hasn't been cleaned since it left Hartford but it's going to get an ultrasonic bath over the winter, lube and that's it. As to the holster I have to figure out a way to save the Heiser snap and put it on a new strap.

Default Just got it today...

Can't say I know the exact model but I love the look and feel of this pistol. I know it is a 32 and it is old. It says 32 Winchester ctg on the barrel. Can anyone help me on what exactly I have. the serial number is 260xx

These 2 snubbies are in S. D. Myres holsters.
After I bought them the owner told me they had belonged to
his deceased brother in law- he was the agent in charge
of the Dallas FBI office.

This is such a cool thread, love the old leather.
Thought I'd add the Berns-Martin I picked up.

3-screw Blackhawk with the unknown holster it came with. Had em both for 38 years.

Can anyone ID the holster? It's lined and floral carved. I used to regularly see holsters that were obviously from the same shop at gun shows, but not since the 80s.

Looks like an Alamo Leather Tom Threepersons holster to me. Are there ANY markings on the back? The holster on the right is another example.

FT is right as usual. That style was made by a number of Texas
makers with Alamo being the most frequently encountered .

Thanks for the ino.

I'm familiar with the style, I have owned several from El Paso Saddlery, who took over Myres original patterns. But I thought a Threepersons was by definition unlined.

That's news to me. Does your holster have ANY markings on the back? Any pics of the back?

This is one of my personal favorites even though the leather isn't all that old. It's an EPS rig shown with a first generation Colt Bisley in 44WCF.

The Combat Masterpiece thread caused me to photograph one in a vintage newly arrived Colorado Saddlery half-flap holster.
My favorite K-frame, with custom grips in a dandy old holster.

I'm not a collector, just a shooter, and I just spent the last 1/2 hour thoroughly entertained with great photos of fantastic handguns and holsters that you all submitted. You all humble me with your collections and your knowledge. Thankyou for the tour !!!!!

Someone penciled 'Python' on the back of this Myres holster but it fits my 686 like it was made for it.



I was also recently lucky to find a dump pouch to go with this Alfonso's holster, a good match right down to the age-yellowed stitching.

This is the only black holster I own. An early Eubanks holding a Ruger flatgate with pearls. The holster is actually maker-marked for a K-38.

Didn't have the right steel handy for photos, but here's some leather I got the other day. Maker is L. D. Turner of Chattanooga, TN. There's not much info online about this fellow aside from this, but it's a quality holster that fits a 4" K-frame like a glove.

db I have seen a few of his holsters but that example, by far, is the nicest one I have ever seen. The star is great! Thanks for showing it to us.

lawandorder, I saw yours and another forum member awhile ago listed here for sale an old police service-style drop down holster made by Turner, and there's the one listed at Vintage Gun Leather, but those are the only examples I've been able to find.

Perhaps Mr. Witty can shed some light on this maker.

A couple vintage pieces with their leather, first a Colt '51 Navy.



And a 1902 Colt Sporting with its shoulder rig.

1st year pre-model 28 with a period correct George Lawrence holster. I've shown this before, but it is one of my favorites.

Here's a group shot with a few Colts just to rev this thread up again.
