My First Carved Holster

All you guys with your great carved leather holsters made me jealous.

Looked at this one by "unknown maker" on Ebay for awhile. Seller finally put measurements on the add and it clicked.

Leather outer shell over what I think is an elk lining, and I REALLY like the latigo lacing on a lot of pre 1950 holsters.

My Model M in 380 from 1926 fits like a glove. Not bad, if I do say so myself, for $40.

Don't know who made it, but they certainly knew how to make it.

Looks great!

My favorite eBay holster maker is tritech012014 (Tactical Gun Leather). He charges $80 for suede lined custom fit holsters. They are awesome! Love his work and keeps your old favorite from getting worn in a non-lined holster.

Looks like a perfect fit for your little Colt, and looks quite nice too.
Just for your information, I think the carved flower is a 5 petal wild rose.
