HOLSTER BEAUTY CONTEST?

[153]

OK Chubbo,

The Colt is a 1957 Government with a hammer from one of the WW1 commemorative models. The handles are from Nutmeg.

The S&W is a 1963 K22, it's handles are old ivory.

Com'on 153, You tantalize us, and then don't give us the info. Please share the names of the guns, and the makers, of those snazzy holsters. Thanks.

Chubbo

Thanks, Now, I don't want to be a pest, but, I'm interested, how about the holster makers names?

The Lawrence 120 "Keith" is kinda purdy in it's simplicity. I tried to
enhance it a bit with the Navajo silver arrowhead. The Red Nichol's
Ranger belt helps too. Peacemaker replica. I keep thinking about
getting a real one, but when I look at the prices I just keep thinking.
Sharps Bowie hiding in upper left corner, and my Stetson of course.

Here's a nice barbecue rig made by Dave Keith, complete with our family brand on the holster.

Nothing fancy here, but a good serviceable rig by Rudy Lozano of Black Hills Leather

Again, not a fancy rig, but one that has seen many, many miles on horseback made by Dave Clowes of Dave's Saddle & Tack out of Bonanza, Oregon.

Another plain, but serviceable, rig from Black Hills Leather.

Sorry Chubbo,

The 1911 holster is supposed to be Myers, but there is no makers mark. I once saw a Lawrence holster that looked very similar.

The S&W holster is a Lawrence and is marked 27LF and 44 over 6 on the back. It was sold to me as a K holster, but as one would suspect it also fits a 6" N frame as well.

If I had to pick just one from my collection I would pick the Heiser #753 double buscadero. The condition is wonderful and I believe it is museum quality. Bill

The S&W, I would have guessed right. By my old favorite vintage maker, Lawrence. I wouldn't venture a guess on the 1911 holster, I am not familiar with unmarked Lawrence holsters, and my very limited Lawrence reference material shows nothing like it. Regardless of the maker, I'm sure it's by a vintage maker, and a real "Knock Out". It just"Makes My Liver quiver". Thanks for sharing them with us.
