Listed below is the name of the company. This company produces quality goods in leather which is a dying art. Stepping into their shop is a step back in time. The two sons still run the shop, I would guess they are in their late to mid 60's. They work out of a small building beside their home that looks like to may have been built in the 30's. They still build hand tooled saddles and tack. and wonderful belt's with silver and tooled designs or just plain all American quality items.. I had a belt made several years ago, just a plain belt with a real solid brass buckle, after going through a number of hunting belts. The belt will outlast me. I asked Brian if they had anyone to take over the shop some day. He said no one wants to learn the old ways and most people woud rather buy imported goods. Of course those items don't last but are less expensive. If anyone is ever down this way in Tucson, a trip to the shop is worth it. In a few years all of these shops accross the country will all be gone.

A friend has a snap handle four box shell holder marked Abercrombie and Fitch. I always wondered where that stuff came from. I am feeling the need for a border stamped eight box holder in dark finish with the pigeon.

I'd say this posting will generate a couple orders for those old boys. Wow!

I can take some pictures of the pigeon. In fact I will take some pictures of the shop while I am there. I will be going down there this week as I am wanting to get a leather lace on pad to extend a short stocked gun, when I was there picking up the case Brian had just finished one up for a guy. It was absolutly a work of art even though it was plain leather.

How about a picture of the butt cover? The Brauer Brothers butt covers have recently become unavailable.

I recieved it the other day and am very pleased. Not everyday a person can get an original case made long after production. Just wanted to share. Now I will need to have one made for myself. He has a pigeon pattern that is excellent.
