Bedell Rogers fancy rig

[bruce5781]

My favorite LGS ( I have dealt with them through 3 generations ) has a Bedell Rogers rig on display. It was built for a customer of theirs who has since passed. It was made for a High Standard Double 9.

Regards,

Beautiful rig!

Did you buy it? It might fit a Ruger Single-Six or even a K-22. You can always tell people FSG stands for Fast Six Gun!

No, it is display only. The fellow that owns it knew Bedell and the fellow it was built for was a favorite customer of his. In fact, he sold the Double 9 to him that it was built for.

My first handgun was a Double Nine. I didn’t have the sense or cents to buy a fancy rig for it at the time. That’s a fine looking rig, thanks for posting it.

The set is in such handsome condition it would've had a place in Holstory' Second Edition had we had the owner's permission to use the excellent images . There was even a spot for it, filled forever by a simple maker's mark today.

Bedell lived until 1994 having worked alongside his father Robert since the end of the '40s when L.A. Sessums died; those marked with the father's stamp are the rarest of all the brillalikes but he made virtually all of the Sessums-marked scabbards using Sessums' mark.

Cliff Claven says, "the Sessum brothers were orphans whose name was Sessum instead, and likely the extra 's' was a plural in the hardware store called Fisher-Sessums because both were investors."
