Class.
I can't think of anyone more deserving to hammer those stamps into hide. Having held these tools I can assure you that you can almost "feel" the history. Truly amazing and in the hands of a true master...
The story is just beginning folks, get in line soon if you haven't already!

"Yes Sir I think the old masters would greatly approve your work..... but at the same time I think some of those footsteps are your own."
This simple line says volumes.
As I look at the comments above from Glenn, Fermin, Dick & others,,, I can't think of anything else to add.
But to have the stamps,,, held & used by past craftsmen, that were used on so many wonderful creations,,, well I can relate to that directly. I happen to own a similar piece of history, that I guard fiercely. To use it to honor the original owners,,, & not create counterfeits is what should always be done. And when you add in your personal touches,,, you continue the craftsmanship, WITHOUT taking anything away from the originals.
THAT"S what makes you an artist Doc,,, and I'm PROUD to own a few of your creations.

I think Doc's title is misleading...He's not walking in anyones footsteps, but rather making his own tracks....
He chooses to travel along the same path, as the greats from the past did, making his own trail along the way...
The Barranti/Myres trademark is the perfect partnership blending perfection of yesterday with today....
Well done, Doc! Only you could have honored someone so well by bringing those stamps out of retirement....

Superlative!
That is Wonderful and, from what I have heard and read here and elsewhere, you well deserve it Mr. Barranti.
I think you walk Side x Side With the legends, and carry on the craft, and carry it well.
Your passion for the craft and, more importantly your passion of the talented craftsman before you shines through in your work, down to the tiniest detail.
Superlative about sums it up...
Congratulations and, Thank you.

The same year that Lipsey's introduced the Flattop 44 specials (around '08 I think), I met a fellow at the tanner gun show in Denver that claimed to have bought the rights to the S.D. Meyers trade name and the original building in Sweetwater Tx, where Meyers first started out. He was making new holster under the S.D. Meyers name. I grew up not terribly far from Sweetwater, and thought some leather from around home would be cool. I wrote the man a check for a floral carved three persons style holster, belt, and cartridge slide. After six months had passed, I tried calling the guy, but no answer. An Internet search of some forums revealed that the man's son had died, and he gave up the business without filling paid orders. I'm glad to see an honest man like Doc B putting the Myers stamp on Gunleather again.!
