Holsters

This holster was custom made for a pistol by Heritage Manufacturing, model "Rough Rider Revolver".  It is a single six that fires 22 caliber long rifle and also has a cylinder that will fire 22 magnum.

The design on the front of the holster is a basket weave design.  It was dyed Bison Brown.  The holster was glued with contact cement and then hand stitched with waxed thread.  The edges were then sanded on a belt sander coated with saddle soap and burnished.  Finishing continues with finer sandpaper.  Finally the entire holster is given a top finish coat for protection and to keep the dye sealed.





The next two photos are the pistol the holster for which the holster was designed.


This final photo shows the pistol in the holster.
