Post war vintage iron and leather,a picture thread.

[Allen-frame]

You can blame Digi-shots for this one. I saw her thread on the other side and went hunting in the closet.
All I came up with was post war 5 screws and some interesting leather taken on trades with guns.

First is a Chiefs special, about 1952, by s.c.s.w. small frame,round triggerguard,5 screws.
A g.b. auction,listed as a mod 36, wearing uncle Mikes, but the screws showed in the pictures.
Stag I frame stocks bought from a friend for a price.

Don't remember where I got the little Mixson holster,,,

Next, an engraved Victory and Service mfg. co. swivel holster.Bothfrom two different sources.

Last is a 5 screw Highway Patrolman 1955, and a suede lined service holster with a small makers mark on the back.

Now how about your post war steel and leather pictures?? Time to dig into the closet.

Regards , and a safe, happy, and prosperous New Year ,,Al

This is probably not what you had in mind, but here is one I built a few years ago for My nickle $35.00 Double Nine. Sewing those little.22 cartridge loops was a little challenging.

I received this holster with a 1917 vintage 1905 4th change 32-20 and thought about Digi-shot's thread, but the holster is from the 50's, and so is my K-22, which it was made for.

Allen-frame,

Nice guns you have there!

I think I cheated and put this one in the other thread... but here it is again in it's proper post war thread, a 1977 model 10-5 snubbie in vintage carved floral holster:

That's a nice old Lewis rig, Giz. I love old police holsters!

One of the holsters above is by Mixon of Miami.

I have a Mixon for a Chief's Special that looks very like a Gaylord design.

I called Mixon several years ago, and the girl who answered was not at all forthcoming about the company, a catalog, etc. Was rather rude and dismissive.

Who knows what about Mixon?

Here's two that should have never gotten away. But both are in good hands.

Up first is a Pre Model 21 in 44 Special with a SD Myres Border Patrol style holster.

Next is a Model 45-2 in 22 Long Rifle. Holster is a Heiser lined floral.

I still have the Heiser. I've got another pic of the two Model 45's I have left. A no dash and a dash 2. Still looking for it.

Jerry,

The holster is fairly heavy and looks well made. The only marking is on the back and signed: "BY JETT". I've had it for awhile and recently found the 2" model 10-5 to go in it. Another one of those "buy the holster first and find a gun to go in it"

I felt kinda bad putting in on the ground to take the photo, but I figured heck... if Gizmo can put his on the rocks, the dirt can't hurt it too much.

SRT, I swoon every time you post pics of that pristine B-M rig. I love those things, and yours looks mint.
Thanks for sharing.

Mod. 27 2-1/2"/Holster by R.E.(Tex)Wolffarth, Lubbock, Texas. Never heard of the holster maker. Found and bought the holster at a gun show in Ohio, for $15.00. didn't know if it would fit my 2.5" mod 27, but it did, and the 2.5" is hard to fit.
