I had one like this for 1911. It had mag pouch on holster and strip under loops to keep 45s from going on through. Mine was suppose to be water buf. I found it no good for going through hatches. Sent it to a forum member in Ca who collects RVn artifacts. Seems like it shrunk over last 52yrs, couldn't get it around my waste anymore. If I remember right I traded a carton of cigarettes to dinks for it.

The carving pattern is not by Sessums, whose holsters were made by a man named Rogers (Bedell Rogers' father):
It's the carving pattern of Kluge, who made A.W. Brill's holsters beginning 1912. This one is known to be made for a Texas Ranger who served 1916-17, R.C. Vaughn:
The Brill carving pattern changed substantially beginning 1932 when Rabensburg became A.W. Brill's maker:

Back up to the top… sorry for the non-Smith here…. I picked up the holster and belt combo a while back.

Charlie,
Tried to send you a pm but your mailbox is full.
Here is the content of the pm.
"Charlie,
Regardless of who made that Brill, it is nice! Is that a 4" N frame in it?
Kevin"
Kevin, I sent you a pm about Charlie. I happen to remember this gun. It was an Austin Police Department marked 3 1/2" Model 27-2 that he picked up at a gunshow for a song years ago.

Thank you Larry,
I had not noticed the "Absent Comrade" tagline under Charlie's avatar.

I'm left handed also… I can shoot with either hand but probably better with my right.
Here's a left handed one for you!

Here is a nice Heiser flap for a Gov't Model.

You've been away from this forum a very long time; lots longer than I have been. Have long admired your gunleather images.
