And here is a pic of mine on a Belt by Chuck Burrows and a Crazy Crowe Belduque ....

My moniker is my great grandfather's name. He served with the 2nd Florida Mounted Regiment in the Civil War. Afterward, he came home, packed his wife into a wagon, and was one of the first NorteAmericanos on the Frio River southwest of San Antonio ..... Kinda where present day Dilley is ...

Now, that's one cool lookin' original rig.  No "tie downs"  there.

Thanks for posting.

Deadeye and Dastardly,

My spanish is purely 'Tex-Mex'- if that good.

As a docent, I have this fear that someone might get upset with that, and use any other obvious fault in my kit as fuel in the fire.

So I try to make my outfit as real looking as I can get and hope that what is coming will be as painless as possible.

But thank you for your kind thoughts ... I look forward to when I get my Botas de Alas (leather leggings worn while riding in much the same way as chaps) and large Belduque (almost 12" blade) to tuck down inside the Botas ... I should be pretty set up then ...

Although there is this pepperbox I saw ...
