Nice examples!

Ron Wood · 04-13-2013, 04:02 PM

Outstanding! That #5 is a real sweetheart (probably not the rarest of the bunch, I don't know much about them, but I like it!).

Were all police holsters including mine have the strap up cofiguration? Could You possibly photograph their reverse?

Yes that is the police design holster. Bill

Bill those are magnificent. I agree with Ron that the brown, #5, is truly a stand out. Best to you and Mary.

Bill,
A beautiful collection of some very nice Police holsters.

Bill, A very fine collection! I don't know how many people noticed but recently I spotted what I believe was an original 1925-26 WW 1 style Police holster on Ebay. You commonly see conversions from Army holsters but I can't remember ever seeing one made as an original before.

Thanks for showing..I hope Mary is well.
