Oliver Ball History

[bulletslap]

Oliver Ball was a Dectective with the Ft Worth Police Department for many years. Recently a letter written to LT. Ball has surfaced regarding an unsolved murder case that occurred back in 1974. The Ft Worth area had a rash of murders and disappearances of young women in those days. I thought collectors of O. Ball holsters might be interested.

I am interested!

I did an online search of Oliver Ball when the example of his holster work came to roost here. He deserves for his story to be told.

This is a new item since I did my search.

With some renewed interest in Oliver Ball, I resurrected a thread from
over 3 years ago, to add to the discussion.

I looked for some O. Ball history after I bought one of his holster a while back. Here is the thread that contains what I found. I thought it was interesting. The history I found is on post #17.
