An example of Jerry's work

This was a faded, scuffed, crazed, Weimar converted 1915 Artillery , when I sent it to Jerry Burney. The lifting strap was broken and the knot was gone. It still had the Artillery block on the back, which was coming unstitched. And there was no stud. I opted to have it changed to a proper period Reichswehr conversion, by adding period belt loops.Jerry came through. Anyone would be hard pressed to distinguish it from original.I just wish my photography skills were as good as his holster work. The photos don't do it justice.

Ron...

Simply outstanding...... Jerry worked his "magic" on a holster I bought for my Dad when I was 18 (don't ask - it was a long time ago) - and Jerry worked his magic on several areas .....

That Luger and RIG still sit proud in my collection....

You holster and post is what Jerry is all about.....

John, Jerry is probably the best I've ever seen. He has an eye for matching dyes, stitching, and weathered leather that is beyond compare.
