What Original Holsters Do You Have?

[Marshal Will]

I only have one original holster but I know some of you have some very classic ones. Here's a photo of mine. I think I've posted it before but this puts it with other classics you may have. Let's see some of your original ones.



It looks to be roll stamped so that would put it probably from the early 20th century. There's no makers mark on it. The recurve was cut down by someone at some time in the past. This holster is in pretty good condition and could be used today. The toe plug is still in it. When I find the right classic pistol, I'll make a copy of this one for it without the cut down recurve.

I've got part of a spring loaded shoulder holster that belonged to one of my great grandfathers. He was a lawman of some kind in the 1890's. I had a picture of him on a horse in town but I lost it. He was one tough looking son of a gun. I remember dad saying his gun was a Colt 32-20.

That's really cool, Hawg. Thanks for the photos. It's like a skeleton rig but with the leather wrapping around the piece full length. Is there any maker's identification on it?

[Miguel Loco]

Wow....both very cool holsters!

[Zulch]

I agree with Mick . Awesome holsters

No makers mark. I just remembered he was a justice of the peace.

Thanks, pards.

Thanks, H. I didn't see any but was curious.

Marshal & Hawg
What revolvers did the holsters fit/carry ?

[Marshal Will]

I have no idea what mine was used for. It would fit an 1877 DA or a Police Positive, both of which were available in the early 20th century.

Colt 32-20. Dad had it for years and loaned it to one of his brothers. He never got it back.

I don't know if this belongs here but I've got this old fleece lined soft holster made by LL Bean sometime between the 20's-40's. I got it in a trade with an H&R Sportsman in 1978 or 79 that was made in 1935.
I never used it for anything and it's just been packed away in one box or another for the last 44 years or so. It was in really nice condition when I got it but it's pretty sad now and one of the seams is starting to come apart.









You cant read the label in the pic but this is what it looks like.

[Marshal Will]

You bet it belongs here. It's a real classic. I haven't seen one like it. Thanks for the pics, Hawg.

Here is a Sunday Scabbard for a Colt 1911. Of course I am a student of the S&W school of revolvers so this wouldn’t work for me even if it were right handed.  But, it is a Sunday Scabbard and it is old.

(Okay, I snuck in a photo of the Sunday Scabbard I commissioned for my S&W N frames with adjustable sights.)

Thanks for the photos SH. Love those Brill designs.

The only original holsters I have, are Shotgun Dave Originals. 


Okay, I'll shut up now.
