HOLSTER BEAUTY CONTEST?

[crazyphil]

Two more long shot candidates for the beauty contest. Both in the
authentic Tom Threeperson's tradition. Bucheimer-Clark Rebel model 98
on the left, and Bucheimer Federal Man model 570 on the right. Both
made for Colt's SAA with 5.5" barrel. Both show with my replica with
4.75" barrel.

Rebel with Haugen belt, Sharp's Bowie, and Stetson Open Road.

Federal Man with Pro-Rider belt, Schrade knife, and Boonie hat.

I don't believe that I have shown this holster in this thread before, but it is definitely a beauty to me! I think in is a SD Myres Model 640. It is really tricked out.

That is a beauty Larry. Thanks for pulling this old thread up. There is a
lot of beautiful holsters here. I particularly like the carved examples.
I'm still trying to learn the difference in the two most prominent styles.
Mexican style and Sheridan style.

The only guide I have to go by is the flower. In the Mexican style, the
California poppy is the flower. It has 4 petals. On the left below.
The Sheridan style uses the 5 petal wild rose. On the right below.

I would like to see some carved holsters, clearly showing the flower,
and what style you believe it is, and why.

2nd from left is a Myres example of Mexican style.
3rd from left is a Sparks example of Sheridan style.

I also just happen to have one of those rare, collectible beauties by Uncle Mike. Shown with my Charter Undercover.

I recently sold this one for a Ruger Single Six. It was just so pretty I rarely wore it. Was from a Tennessee holster maker that retired in 2014.

Is that a Turner ?

 

[Eddie Southgate]

I think this is my only basketweave Myres. I have the lined belt that came with it.

If you could only have one that would be a nice one to have .

 

[Eddie Southgate]

Here's an unmarked holster I picked up last weekend.

You should send that to me , I love old unmarked Brill looking holsters. Congratulations , that's sweet.

 

[Eddie Southgate]

My personal favorite. Second picture is the same Colt with some new old shoes.

 

[Eddie Southgate]

Hopefully you can see the holster in this . The picture was actually of the gun but I don't have a separate picture of the holster. This one is carried a lot in rough country , it does clean up nice with a dose of Blackrock.

Current El Paso

El Paso Saddlery continues to produce beautiful holsters.

Simplicity

If simplicity of lines equates with beauty then this Tom Threepersons by H.G. Leather Makers qualifies.
