Is this brand still made? I came across one at a gun show last week that fit my Star BM, but was looking for a better condition one. The number is 23529, and I don't really know for what it was originally made. Ebay has some offered, but not the right model.

I can say Google. There is nothing about holsters on that web site, hence the question I asked.
Here is an Old World with my Beretta M92FS. Old World was imported
from Italy by Uncle Mike. I gave this gun & holster to our Grand SIL.
They were/are(?) made in the Santa Croce region of Northern Italy, a
region well known for premium leather work. I have owned a couple
of Old World's products and found them to be top quality in every respect.
Blackhawk's leather holsters are made in Tuscany with premium Italian
bridle leather. If you can't find what you want in Old World, you might
take a look at Blackhawk's leather holsters.
2nd from left is a Blackhawk Askins style shown with a Ruger LCR.
I gave the gun & holsters to our Great Granddaughter.
3rd from left is a Blackhawk Speed Classic, that has been kinda
popular. It is shown with a Charter Undercover aboard.
I have wondered if Old World and Blackhawk might be made by
the same Maker. They are both in the same general area.
But a little research tells me there are hundreds of leather
workers in the region, so it would be a long-shot coincidence.

Well I don't do Facebook so if all they have is a FB page they will never get my business.

This thread has aroused my curiosity, so I did a little more searching.
It seems that Gun Mate holsters market Old World Leather holsters.
Gun Mate is a Division of Michaels of Oregon, who I used to know as
Uncle Mikes.

Thank you, crazyphil. I read that Michaels of Oregon was bought out by Buschnell (s.p.?) and moved from Oregon City, Or. I'll give Gun Mate holsters a try. If I could find what model #23529 was made, I could perhaps find another brand made for that model.
