Description

Wikipedia:
The name and technique come from the gunleather holsters used by the cavalry of both the United States Army and the Confederate States Army, during the Civil War. The pistol was in a covered holster carried high on the cavalryman’s right side, but was placed butt-forward for crossdrawing by the left hand. The pistol was considered by the Army to be a secondary weapon, with the right hand used for the saber. Placement on the right permitted an alternate method to be used, allowing the right hand to draw the pistol if the sword were lost in battle.

In practice, however, the “alternate method” became the standard, with the sword being left in its sheath until the pistol and its spare loaded cylinders had been expended.

I hand make every one .. .one at a time the old fashioned way.

Please note: As these are made from natural range cattle hides, they may have various features such as barbed wire nicks, insect bites and if you are very lucky – brands on the items.
