Really like that holster! Great job!!

Love the revolvers and the gun leather!

When I aquired my one and only S&W top break (a Uberti Russian Model) for use in conjunction with my GAF North-West Mounted Police impression (… and yes, the NWMP had some Russian Model revolvers, purchasing 30 of them in 1874 …) I ended up having to make myself another NWMP-pattern holster fo fit it, since it wouldn't properly fit in the holster I had previously made to fit my original NWMP-issue 1884 Mk II Enfield revolver.

My leatherwork is most definitley not as gorgeous as the works of art you have showcased, but I am satisfied with the end result, which is of the correct plain and functional service pattern …



Although I am admittedly neither as young nor as fit as NWMP personnel back in the day, it has been a fun impression to work up.  Here is a frequently seen "patrol uniform" consisting of the cotton duck fatigue jacket and cap, worn in conjunction with the regulation yellow-striped uniform trousers and black riding boots.



The Mills-pattern belt I am wearing above is a re-creation I had made to represent one of 200 such "olive green" belts acquired by the Force from the U.S, in 1885.  This type of belt, which had loops for both revolver and rifle cartridges, is seen being worn in a few period photographs, but no original examples are known to have survived …

Love these!

Found a holster that'll work!

 Bought a used 76 Chaparral (40-60) in 2016, to say how many thousands of rounds i have shot thru "HER", i would be lying if i said. I don't shoot max loads in my rifle's. With the price of loading now i don't shoot as much and spend more time experimenting with different powders.

I have to agree, at a grand apiece in today's market, they are great trade fodder.
