Pebble Grain Artillery Boot

[lugerholsterrepair]

Ron, I have to admit, this little rig took the better part of two days to manufacture.

Each and every little part is painstakingly made, measured, fitted and put together with the utmost care.

The brass metal parts are all handmade, the tiney brass rivets are hacked out of raw metal round stock with a hacksaw and a file and hand hammered on. Since the brass is extremely shiney when it's made I found a magic way to form an instant patina. Makes it look authentic and if this piece isn't mistaken for an original a few years hence I will eat your hat.

I get a real thrill out of practising this craft.

I better quit goofing off and get to work on your holsters....Jerry Burney
