Wes, Thanks very much! I wondered where that picture went! You are the photo man!

Ed, Thanks for the kind words, to all else too! These are made totally by hand using the finest linen thread just as the Germans did at the turn of the century. I believe the Germans used machines for most of their work but there are tieoffs and such where it must have been done by hand as no machine I know of could do it. I do not have a leather stitching machine as they cost $1500.00 and up. I would rarely use one anyway as most of the work is do is repair work and one cannot use a machine on 80 year old holsters. These are hand stitched like a pair of Gucci shoes. Jerry Burney
