A little Holiday Bling


Recommended Posts

:FlagAm:I was thinking that maybe it would be fun to show off our fancy guns for the holiday season going forward.  My idea is that one of us every day post up pics of a BBQ or going to the square dance piece for the rest of us to enjoy.  With one person posting each day, a new treasure would await us all.   

To get things started:

First year, second gen-1956

Sassparilla Kid's Beretta Stampedes.  Christmas present to the lad when he was thirteen... "Personalized" by the late Texas Jack.  Although not museum quality engraving, "bling-y" enough for CAS work.  ^_^

 

Note the whimsical sarsaparilla bottles blowing their corks on the bottom of the grips - intended to be visible when holstered.

 

The Kid made the holsters and belt - now showing a bit of wear - when he was fourteen, using patterns donated by Jim Simmons, aka Brazos Jack.

Well... that was a bunch o' years ago, but he hit 6' 2" in high school.  Mighta added up to an inch by now ~ he's 28.

 

The Kid's all arms and legs.  Shoulda called 'im "Condor" for his wingspan.  :huh:

That would be Eduardo Grande. He's out of the leather business, and I believe he may even have shuffled off this mortal coil.

 

He sure used to whittle on a cow purty, though,  didn't he.

I like them oak leaves a whole lot better than the roses that everybody else seems to want to carve.

Ive never been a fan of scratched up guns and wouldn't buy one, but they sure are pretty to look at.
