Hi Albert,

It even looks like two (2) different patterns of pebble-grain stamping was used on this piece.

I would guess the "grain" is embossed on the full sheet(s) of leather before they are cut into pieces for the assembly of the holster...probably with a high pressure pressing machine of some sort.

Maybe the pebbel grain gives better "grip" when handling the holster with wet/damp hands...sort of like the USA footballs (not soccer balls)...

Or maybe the graining effect jusy makes for a piece that is more attractive to look at...

Regards,

Pete...
