Pictures of Leather Scabbard, Holster, & Belt

David Wile · July 20, 2002, 12:55 AM

Hey folks,

Here are six pics showing some hand tooled leather things I made including: a scabbard I made for my Marlin 1895 Cowboy, a cartridge belt and holster for my Ruger Super Blackhawk, and a knife sheath. Notice how the knife is period correct for the 1895 Marlin Cowboy?

Hope some might find these interesting.

Best wishes,
Dave Wile

The leatherwork always seems nicer when you do it yourself. I'm not as good as you at it, but I just made a sheath for a skinning knife (which I also made) and a leather case for my pilot's license and necessary papers. I guess I've been inspired by my friend, RJ Hedley. Of course I couldn't make holsters like he turns out if my life depended on it!

- - -you say the bayonet is for the Marlin? I wondered if it might be for that long barrelled resolver.
