Notes

Text: "January 14, 1991. Dear David, Nice to have met you at the Augusta show! I've taken a couple of photos of miscellaneous leather work I have (here, nobody [..] Berns - Martin rigs (for N-frame smiths) that my father owned. The belt slide holster for a .45 and the .44 cartridge slide in the other photo are old S.D. Myres products... I'm interested in getting a no. 334 flop holster (or two!) for one of my guns, but didn't see any prices in the catalog you kindly gave me. What would such a holster, calf lined, cost for, say, a 4" barreled N-frame Smith & Wesson? Might you be interested in a swap involving the Berns-Martin stuff? Look forward to hearing from you. Yours, Mark Newcomer."
