Old iron, bent leather, bones & one lucky gun show later...

[bamabiker]

The picture is not too good but it does show the color of the ivory. Not near as old as the others here but maybe you won't mind.

Your .45 with those stags in those old classic holsters are as cool as it gets. I love patina, or as I refer to it, glorified rust. Your gun is just what catches my eye at gun shows and bottom shelves at gun shops. Here's my Colt 1911 .45. A SAA built that year in a late 50s Arvo Ojala Hollywood fast draw holster I refurbished then built and beat up a belt to match.


This holster is fairly new, but the guns are 1957 and 1920...

There's Old, and then there's really old....

My contribution to old iron and bent leather: 1917 S&W (1st yr) with 1917 dated holster and ca.1750 Hirschfanger with original scabbard (German Hunting Sword)

 

[SAFireman]

one more......a 1922 44 HE......in Mexican leather and vintage jigged bone stocks.

 

[turnerriver]

A couple of more.
The Lawrence flap holster is etched "Tex April 1934" on the back.

All Myres holsters with Grashorn elk stag grips on the Bodyguard.
Great thread by the way.

GREAT THREAD!!! one of my last two Colts- a series 70 stocked in some old Ivory. Along the way I picked up an extra barrel and bushing.

This newer MDL has been carried for some time- stocked in Mastodon Ivory

 

[williamlayton]

I don't know about Lone Wolf carrying like that but here is the real author and the real gun. Charlie Miller was a Border Ranger and carried with the safty tied down because of an injury.
A range officer told him one day that that was dangerous. Charlie told him the danged ol thang wasn't dangerous he didn't need it.

I see a box of the old Western Super Match .45 ammo with the 210 grain SWC bulet.

I used to shoot that when I could find it in the 1960's. I preferred it to the 185 grain load. It wasn't as potent, but it even looked like Jeff Cooper's handloads.

Which model is the Randall knife?

 

[bamabiker]

Let's keep it going. Here's a couple of irons and bent leather.
3" K frame in a half flap.

And a 4" N frame in another half flap.

I'll be on the look out for some more bones.
Where's Dave? I know he's got some good stuff for this thread.

 

[wbraswell]

Fine, y'all done went and made me ill at the gills. Jealousy is not a pretty thing.

gotta love those milk bones

 

[Cyrano]

Here's mine. They're nowhere near as pretty as some posted here, but still very servicable. Left to Right: Ruger Security Six, 6 inch barrel, Hogue Monogrips, in El Paso Saddlery Tom threepersons crosssdraw holster. No security strap; they won't make them like that now. S&W 625 Mountain Gun in 45 Colt. Spegel grips, El Paso Saddlery Tom Threepersons holster.

 

[Wyatt Burp]

Here's two without the bone. My 1911 .45 colt again but with the original grips in an early Berns-Martin lefty holster. I made the belt almost thirty years ago so it's old looking and matches the holster OK.

My favorite kind of thread. I have plenty of old leather and bone but no guns old enough to show it off yet (this will be remedied before long).

Thanks to all you guys for shaing your great stuff.
