A. H. Hardy Holster                  SOLD!
Holster by the famous Capt. Albert Howard Hardy, a Nebraska boy who made good. New and in unused condition. Fits the Ruger Single Six and similar with barrels to 5 1/2"  Circa 1938-1950
 Capt. Hardy, born in 1876, learned saddle making in Omaha, NE as a young man and then took up saddle making in the wild and wooley cattle town of Hyannis, NE in the Nebraska Sandhills. His trial for attempted murder in Hyannis is well detailed in a seven page article in the 2009 Guns Digest by my good friend Jim Foral. After his exoneration he became the exhibition shooter for the Peters Cartridge Company in 1906, then the largest ammunition company in the world. He was a pallbearer for Buffalo Bill Cody in 1917. In 1938 he retired in Beverly Hills  and resumed his leather craft. He passed in 1950. This is an amazing find in remarkable condition. Article copy included.

WWI Trench Art Cannisters                  SOLD!
Unique WWI trench art cannisters made from artillery shells. I have never seen this type of trench art before. The larger one measures 5 1/2"x3 1/2" and appears to be of German origin with a German medallion saying "GOTT MIT UNS" meaning God Be With Us. I think this is from the German trenches. German trench art is infrequently seen. The smaller measures
2"x1 5/8" and appears to be made from American shells. Lids fit snug. Both very well done.
