Good job Will! Old leather can be a bugger to work with....I'd be proud of that attempt. I've always been a bit partial to a sewn toe like that too. For old hard leather, you got those grooves nice and deep, as well as the floral stamp.
One I will make one of these days is a civilian flap holster as shown on page 72 of Packing Iron, made 1875-1885. It has a sewn toe. It looks quite cool.
