Hey Skeeter
Yes well, I have original Holsters in my collection and "study" on Frank Meanea since more than 20 years. I have a house full of photos and take most of my patterns from old Holsters. I visite the US 2 times a year grapping some good stuff for my little museum.
I do leather work since little more than 20 years. 4 years ago I start doing spurs in the traditional way also.
Visite my facebook site (Andreas Rombach, Profilepic is a saddle) and see some of my pics as well.
Have you ever seen stuff from Mr. Wild Bill Cleaver, or Mario Hanel?? These are Artists!!!!!!
So long
Andy Rombach
