I have acquired a Trailer Load of Thousands of Don Hume Leathergoods. These are CLASSIC & VINTAGE NEW, old factory stock, Never used, never sold to the public.
Items offered and in EXCELLENT, fully serviceable condition, as the day they were made.
Some however were facotry overuns or 2nd choice, often for just a misplaced stitch, or slightly wrong color match to standard. There may also be some very minor marks from storage and handling.
I got a great price...and so will you!
Don't let the discount put you off...and no need to many times higher prices more for similar items.
Only the title item for sale. Catalogs, badges, patches, firearms, handcuffs and magazines , etc, are props only
and shown only to demonstrate the use or fit of the item
COMPANY INFO:
DON HUME LEATHER GOODS, of MIAMI OKLAHOMA
has been a holster maker for Since the 1950's. A former La Mesa, California
Police Officer and later a San Diego County Deputy Sheriff,
Don always had a bent towards law enforcement equipment.
-
Don has always made an excellent holster, and his products
are well known throughout the West.
Don, a more unassuming and less flamboyant type,
started his holster business in La Mesa, California. It sprung from his hobby of
making holsters while in the Navy in the early 1950s. He opened a "garage" shop
during his next 7 years while serving in the local
police departments
Later he devoted his full time to his business and moved to Miami, Oklahoma where he operated out of a 10 acre, 25,000 square foot building.
He perfected the rugged rigs of his day, and created new styles
and developed new ideas as the company grew.
He worked at various times with the likes
of ELMER KEITH , BILL JORDAN and other
famous shootists of the old days in holster designs and patents.
The biggest footnote in Holster History for the Don Hume Company would
probably be the development and marketing of the BILL JORDAN BORDER PATROL design, and having it overseen by Bill himself, a personal friend of Don Hume.
Hume continues today with fine products and great customer service. You can find them on line.
