Pattern 37 Bubba

[Baal]

Call me Bubba the seamstress.

I had a minty Canadian ZL&T holster with a tear in the flap. So I unstitched it, recut it to resemble a tanker holster, reversed it for left handed use, and sewed it all back together again. The retaining strap came off a modern replica Lee Enfield canvas case. The snap works fine but isn't the same quality of the original which I had to drill off. Would love to find better ones. I know they're out there somewhere.

I also used material from the replica case to make a left handed sheath for my Grohmann survival knife. And I re-covered my worn out kukri scabbard.

I "blanco'd" it all using Tarrago shoe cream mixed to Blanco shade 103, light green khaki.
