This is the only black holster I own. An early Eubanks holding a Ruger flatgate with pearls. The holster is actually maker-marked for a K-38.

Didn't have the right steel handy for photos, but here's some leather I got the other day. Maker is L. D. Turner of Chattanooga, TN. There's not much info online about this fellow aside from this, but it's a quality holster that fits a 4" K-frame like a glove.

db I have seen a few of his holsters but that example, by far, is the nicest one I have ever seen. The star is great! Thanks for showing it to us.

lawandorder, I saw yours and another forum member awhile ago listed here for sale an old police service-style drop down holster made by Turner, and there's the one listed at Vintage Gun Leather, but those are the only examples I've been able to find.

Perhaps Mr. Witty can shed some light on this maker.

A couple vintage pieces with their leather, first a Colt '51 Navy.

And a 1902 Colt Sporting with its shoulder rig.

Here is my last Pawn shop rescue. S&W Hammerless Top Break left the factory in 1894. Holster marked Greenblatt NYC

1st year pre-model 28 with a period correct George Lawrence holster. I've shown this before, but it is one of my favorites.

Glad to see you back Linda. Been keepin' a low profile?

Hey John. What do you think was the idea behind the odd placement of the strap on the Hoyt holster that's holding the 1908? Never seen one of those.

I've been busy but still lurking here and posting a little from time to time..

here's a couple more that I don't think I've posted...

Bobby, it's an early IWB holster, the strap snaps over the belt.
Linda, who made the 1st holster in your post- is that a Hardy holster?
Nice to see more of your fine leather as well.

John,

Sorry it took so long to get back to your question as to the maker. I realized I didn't have any pics of the backside and there's no maker's mark.

Here's a pic of the backside the holster.

Here's a Victory model in a vintage Audley holster, both acquired separately. The interesting thing is that the Victory has a very noticeable scratch or ding where the Audley trigger button rubs the triggerguard.

Every once in a (great) while, you find things that are just supposed to go together...
