Yes, flat.  The dimensions varied a lot depending on what contractor was manufacturig them.  I'm sure there were several.

Pat, that is damn fine work you did there. And, btw, say howdy to a 7th gen. son of the republic. (Guessing I'm a tad older than you are. ;D)

Here is one that claims to be from the 1880s.  When did the different style/color change occur or were these used for different purposes?  Or is this auction errant?

Wow, that's cool!

I want to make one now too! But a cheap knockoff. Using pocket screws and just painting on the straps. Won't say "Wells Fargo" but like "Swell Fargle & Co" or something fun like that. (Hey, my Rugers don't say "Colt" and my Rossi doesn't say "Winchester"!)
