S&W single actions and leather
Major 2:
I see the late Chuck Burrows influence in your knife scabbard which I like.
Your yeoman works towards restoring his legacy and photographs has rubbed off, well done.
Graveyard Jack:
That's high praise, thanks! I also have to credit the late John Cohea with my knife sheath style. The most recent sheaths have been an effort to sort of combine the styles of the two.
RattlesnakeJack:
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 …

I can't post pictures (site says they're too big) but Craig made a beautiful Slim Jim cross-draw for my S&W 2000 Schofield. It is a delight to look at and carry.
