   Thanks. Interesting thing about the attached mag pouch is it is one piece of leather. When you unsnap it, the flap is used to pull the mag up slightly for a better grip on it. Thinking about copying other vintage holsters-just for fun and practice. I like the basket weave on the Safariland #103.

	Something else I rediscovered recently. Started reading the Executioner books in the early 1970s, about the same time I tried delving into a new Tandy Leather Craft Kit. So I copied a Mack Bolan cover and blew it up to make a tracing pattern onto leather. The result is a roughly 6x6” carving of Mack and “Big Thunder.” Not bad for a 13-14 year old at the time. Sorry my tablet seems to rotate the photos I have posted 90 deg when I post.

	Good afternoon, all. Thanks for the add! Living in the amazing state of Tennessee (Knoxville). Joined this forum to see about a gun that I’ve had in the safe for years. Like the look and size, but have no use for it and wanted to see if it was a somewhat popular pistol. Seems to be a bit on the rarer side, from what I’ve gathered. It’s an all original AMT Backup chambered in 9X19, which seems to be a bit of an oddity. Glad to be here! Loving the pics of some of the more rare pistols!!!

	It looks like your picture may have been inspired by the cover artwork of this issue of the Executioner. I have the oil painting of this artwork. It has been said that everybody should own an oil and a bronze. My bronze is of Tex Ritter and White Flash.....Bruce

	I actually used an earlier edition of the Executioner cover artwork.

	No bronze artwork though! Several limited edition lithos of F4U Corsairs. Several signed, one by Pappy Boyington. Was a great art gallery in Carmel owned by Stan Stokes when I was with the 7th Infantry Division in the early 1990s.

	Yes, that does look more like your drawing. I guess you noticed that the picture on the book is a reverse negative of the number 10 gun, as seen in the Aristocrat brochure. You fixed where the ejection port should be. I used to work on A7-D Corsair's. I also worked on Phantoms. F-4 E's C's D's and once a Navy F-4 J. At Tokyo Disneyland we had the designer of the castle at Disneyland arrive in Tokyo to inspect the new castle. I picked him up one morning to show him Tokyo. When he met me in front of his hotel, he looked up and said, "The last time I was here, I was firebombing the place." It turned out he was part of the Black Sheep Squadron and had volunteered for a bombing mission. He had some grizzly stories to tell. That is why I titled my book, about building Tokyo Disneyland, Black Sheep in Tokyo. Bruce
