This is serious matter now as we get into armoury stuff. What the heck have these to do with a gift shop? None and yes...The year was 1999, I was visiting this leather manufacturer in Bangladesh for the purpose to study the material they used in making their leather shoes. After the formal discussion, he showed me other leather products that their factory made... this gun holster caught my attention. I was brought back to boyhood fantasy of owning a gun holster, a real leather stuff.... Probably most boys remember the toy gun and the plastic holster and belt which you can insert the plastic bullets. I expressed my interest to possess it and he expressed surprise that I need it... probably thinking Singapore is not safe country either. I paid him US$XX for it.
The above picture showed a vinyl made holster pouching a real pistol, my picture here uses a lady mannequin for the job and does look feminine attractive. The reason I need you to see and to share with you is found at the bottom picture where I took a close-up shot and show that this holster is made from kid(young goat) leather and it is meshed woven... which means labour intensive... which means it is handmade... and a piece of art in itself. So, I think there is m
more value to it just being another holster.
As for myself, I do not have a chance to don this for service after I bought it. It will remains so and it is time that I have to part with this nice strapping to those who need it more than I do... There are many gentleman and hungo here who may be in the front line fighting crimes, terror-lipsome, or engage in paintball warfare. They may need it more than I do and at least I should let this holster served its function rather than to beautifying the mannequin...
If anyone out there is interested in this kid leather woven pistol holster which have yet to be battle proven. Email me and get ready to dispense S$140.00 for this art piece.
