Rick Bachman leather

[tdshepard]

Rick Bachman up Montana way made me this money belt and 2 Mexican loop holsters for my New Vaqureo .45's
The 3" money belt is doubled over pebble grained calfskin just like they used to make them. The holsters are buckskin lined and from the catalog of Newton Porter, a saddle maker in Phoenix AZ about 1895. If it gets any better than this I have never seen it.

very nice rig, thanks for sharing! I believe I'll have to check that maker out.

I found out about him reading Rattenbury's "Packing Iron". 21 of the illustrations are from Rick's collection. His prices are quite reasonable once you see that Hermann Oak leather. His website:

Rick is among the best out there.
He's building me a holster for a Ruger Flattop .44 Special project, and he's done other work for me over the years.
Good stuff.
