Some Gunshow goodies, Trans HD & a couple Holsters

Found an early Transitional Heavy Duty at the show today serial # S64777, Has lots of holster wear but is solid Mechanically and everything is correct even the Magna stocks. This ones for your database Bill. Its not in the SWCA Database.

Yesterday I bought an Idaho Leather Co. Holster for a 6 or 6.5" barreled N-frame or K-frame it has 2 snaps depending on which gun you use. This morning here is a Eubanks Holster almost exactly like the one I bought yesterday except it is for a K22 or K38 an Nframe wont fit in it. Eubanks Leather was in buisness from 1939 until 1950's and then became Idaho Leather company.

a good weekend all in all.

Dan.
I have one of the Eubanks holsters some what similar. My Dad bought it way back when. We lived 40 miles outside of Boise. It is a full flap model and has plain smooth leather. Says something pretty similar to yours on the back. I will post some pics of it tomorrow.
My Dad carried an old H&R Arms Model 999 in it. I was born in 1950 and my Dad bought the gun and holster before I was born. After he had kids he was to poor to buy very many more guns.
Keep those holsters safe.

I'd have bought that HD in a heart beat. Love the character it shows.

Most of the Idaho/Eubanks holsters I've seen have the basketweave stamping and are buckstitched like yours. Some are also lined with smooth leather.
Very good quality riggin'.

Dan,

Love the transitional HD. That's a pretty early one, I believe. Good looking holsters, too. Thanks for the great pictures.

You are the King of finding nice stuff at gunshows. That HD is very nice and shows the "right" amount of wear.

Congrats,
