JerryB, the dates are when my dad's four brothers and himself started an annual get together to shoot, hunt and barbecue. All the families come. It officially started in 1954 and we had a 40th anniversary in 1994. I had a friend make them all buckles plus me one. We still keep it up but only one brother remains and he is 92. This may be the last one this year. Not as many relatives are into dove hunting and guns as in the past. My last uncle can't hear or see well enough to hunt safely. Lots of memories! I guess it will turn into just my kids and grand kids plus my two sisters kids and grand kids. Then we will grow from there.
It appears some very fine beef made the ultimate sacrifice for that fine collection. I must give the beeves credit for contributing to excellent craftsmanship. That leather appears to have been well cared for.

Wouldn't it be nice if the holster could talk? Such history is fascinating.
I've posted a few old family photos before, and it would be wonderful to transport back in time 120 years and talk to those people.
Doctors for Sensible Gun Laws "first do no harm" - gun control LAWS lead to far more deaths than 'easy access' ever could.
I like the style on #1, but I like the style and history of #2. I grew up in the part of Texas Eddy County joins and had family in Carlsbad and Artesia (New Mexico).
Shoot Range, I can still remember seeing ole boys wear those type of rigs on a daily base out in western Kansas,and Texas when I visted family back in the 50's, nice rigs
