Stalwart Almanack reader El Kabong (How ya doin', El?) issued a special request to see a holster, and I am pleased to comply. I possess a few, and some are pretty fancy, but back in the day my rig of choice was this no-frills Genuine Top Grain Cowhide job from Mattel.
This wasn't the same one I wore, of course. My ma gave that to the Salvation Army as soon as I outgrew it. But this one's identical, no doubt tucked high on a shelf by some other kid's ma - who didn't even let him play with it. Thanks, Other Kid's Ma, you kept it in great shape for its next owner. The holster still has that great cowhide aroma.
The Fanner 50 itself is just a guest star in this post. I'll be slavering over the gun, in its several varieties, in weeks to come.
