Ron, Big Norm...The same can be said of recreating Luger holsters. I looked for five years before I decided I was never going to own an original Imperial 6" Navy holster and made my own.
Ron, Originals like you say, can be fragile and damaged easily. I can use my Navy everyday if I like without fear of damaging a very valuable original.
I still can't believe Viggo went to the trouble of re creating an Ideal stock and Holster...A labor of love to the MAX! He must be quite the machinist.
One thing to remember is these type of skills are really lost to all but a few people in the World today. The society we live in does not provide for the time and patience to cultivate craftsmen of this caliber and they are rare. It is as close to dying out as one could imagine. Jerry Burney
