“New” holster for Colt Trooper

[otis24]

Just picked up a well used vintage Beau Brothers holster. It’s wear and patina match the finish wear on my Colt Trooper.

Nice rig. That's what a holster used to/should look like before all the safety devices became necessary and made it difficult for the officer to draw the weapon.

Watch the Strap hardware inside the holster, mine scratched my pistol. I put moleskin over the inside buttons.

BRAUER BROTHERS Mfg. of St. Louis, also known as MOOSE SPORTING GOODS, has been a family owned business since 1898; one of the oldest family owned leather makers around. The Bull Moose logo, inspired by one of their most famous customers, hunter and statesman Teddy Roosevelt was adopted when he ran for reelection in 1912 under the Bull Moose party. Brauer received a patent for the snap off strap design in 1928.

Nice holster. Just curious: how old is the Trooper?
