Sixty Year Old .357 in New Leather
It's not made by a well known maker and didn't cost me $300, but it does look and work nicely.
While obsessing over holsters I came across this on an image search. I was attracted to the simplicity of the design and the flawlessly done patterning.

It just needs a better belt.

I like it. It looks like a well made serviceable holster. I especially like the border stamping. I agree with you about the belt, too. I think it needs a wider belt to bring the whole rig into more aesthetic proportions, in addition to giving the gun/holster more support.

I'm on the lookout for a 1-1/2 belt of decent quality and thickness with a similar pattern and color.
The belt pictured has been holding CCW holsters and my pants up for about fifteen years.

1.5 inch gun belts
Welcome to Murray Custom Leather
There are others but none better - some might be his equal, maybe.

That's a bit too fancy for me, but I appreciate the link.
I found a floral embossed belt that's about the same color as the holster at a reasonable price.

OK Rick; we're all wondering: who's the maker?

I've only seen the holsters online on Etsy.com under LeatherbyKD out of Covington, LA.

No belts are offered.
I've got this cheapie coming:
If it's a sturdy piece of leather it should work just fine.
This buckle was a gift going almost ten years back.

This rig may finally make a home for it.

Great looking holster. reference the safety strap-I prefer more strap beyond the snap , as it makes it easer for me to un-snap.

Very nice holster....And much better to put your initials on the holster than on the gun!

The snap works fine for me. If anything, I don't much care for it being on the widest point rather than near the trigger guard like other designs.

Nice holster, nice revolver, nice everything! I would assume the "RA" on the holster indicates it houses a "really accurate" revolver.

That is a beauty. Nothing better than a Smith wrapped in high grade leather.

I went to my local western wear store and found a sturdy 1 1/2 inch belt. It works very well.

Got the belt in the mail today. It's pretty, and plenty wide, just a little thinner than I would have liked. It should work okay. If not I've got a thicker belt that needs a few extra holes to make it small enough.

Not too shabby.
20141007_110819 by Slick_Rick77, on Flickr
The belt was ordered one size smaller than my others but still ended up on the big side. It's just a little big on the smallest position. It seems everything is made a bit oversize these days.

Not I.
The Department of the Navy paid me real money to carry around machine guns.
