Here's pics I found of the unusual Bohlin holster with folded over main seam and internal "bulge". I spotted this holster worn by two actors. "Tom Tryon" wears a lefty identical to this one (maybe it's the same one) in "Texas John Slaughter". And Chad Everett in "The Last Challenge". I talked to Jim Martin about the Everett reverse twist draw in that movie saying I thought it was a Bohlin rig. He then explained to me the way these were made. Not until I later saw these photos of one did I see Bohlin's unique design. Even that slot in the welt for the strap is interesting. The "bulge" positioned the grip for maximum clearance, looks like. This made it work well with the twist draw.

Black and White looks positioned more for cross draw.....................

Looks like some early "Wild Wild West"..... undercover assignment........ in the background
Yeah. I didn’t notice Artemus Gordon back there. The tan Bohlin holster is cross draw, too, like Tom Tryon’s. On close inspection I saw that it’s on a money belt with Bohlin shaped billets based on other Bohlin rigs. Here's the same guy wearing a two gun Bohlin rig.
