Tell me a bit about this one.

BTW, searching for old holsters must be a disease or something. :P

If it is a disease, I have a terminal case of it !

I have known Lou since I was a young pup, and wore one of his Bodyguard holsters with my M36 S&W (with a bobbed hammer - very cool) back in 1981.

No challenge, but I am close to having one of the larger collections of Alessi leather, and damn proud of it ! If I could figure out how to take better pictures, and post them, I would.
The ultra cool horsehide DOJ's...
The alligator top-band CQC/S for my HC P7...
The old Seventrees-style wheelgun scabbards...
The presentation shark belt with sterling silver buckle and tip...
The all-shark ankle rig for the P7...

Heck, I have to go break put the leather container and bring them out to look at again ! :D

Hey Jason, where the hell did you find that holster? We quit making them in the mid 70's.
A cop friend of mine who played with leather made one and gave me the pattern for the J frame. We made quite a few hundred of those for J frames, 1911's, Commanders, and Browning HP's.

I stopped making them because I didn't want to be accused of copying the Sparks / Nelson Summer Special.
Lou
