Here are a few pictures of my small but growing Alessi holster collection. The PCH arrived from Buffalo yesterday and is the first of about a dozen items that I have on order. The signed holster was sold to me by a kindhearted gentleman who knew how much I wanted it (and who has both a signed belt and PCH). The last pics are of two great company logos.

Enjoy!

Ari.....GREAT snag on the holsters, no surprise that they are both beauties!! Sadly, Lou passed before I was able to get him to make a one-of-a-kind holster for my C&S Pathfinder..a project that he was just as excited as i was about! Not trying to hijack your thread, but I would like some pics of the stainless pistol on the left in the first photo..it looks amazingly like an Officer's ACP that I own, but cannot find out who did the custom work..maybe you could post a thread with pics and details in the cstom pistol section, please?? Best wishes--John

John,
I'm sure he was excited. He loved chopped handguns. We discussed Behlert chopped BHP's/1911's and he was making a batch of holsters for my Adventurer. I'll post some pics of them as they arrive.
The hard-chromed 1911 was worked on by Behlert and was my first handgun/1911. (I did not have the original work done. I have only had it for a few years.) Here are a few pictures. Let's see your officers model!

Ari..thanks for the info and pictures. I will try and get some of my mystery pistol up soon, my camera is currently shot! I bought mine off of a member on here several years ago and he had gotten it from the original owner. It was allegedly built by Wilson, back when they were doing single builds..I have contacted them several times but sadly they have no records of this pistol. Two different 'smiths there agreed that it looks like some of their work, but it apparently pre-dates their computerized records. I haven't had any other luck identifiying the shop that did the work, but whoever did it seems to have done a wonderful job on her!
As for the holster for my Pathfinder..Lou was very interested..and had actually already made only one holster for one of these, so he didn't have a pattern to work from. THAT holster was for none other than Bill Laughridge's PERSONAL Pathfinder (which was for sale on here recently). He said that I would have to send my pistol up for him to use, but as we know...I never got the chance! GOD how I miss my chats with Lou by phone and e-mail. There have been several times now that I have started to, or accidentally sent a bawdy joke or two to his e-mail, and I still can't bring myself to remove his name from my mailing list! I only hope the family can overlook my indescretions! Take care my friend--John
