Colt Photos of Ledermeister, aka Paul Gerrior


Paul Gerrior was better known in the 1970's as Ledermeister (Leathermaster in English) when he modeled extensively for Jim French of Colt.  Today I'm featuring some of my favorite photos 
of this amazing man, who the last I heard was still alive and well in San Francisco. 
 I don't know who took this 1968 snapshot.  It may or may not have been French.

    2. Updated: I just found a gofundme request for Mr. Gerrior's final expenses. He apparently had a bad fall at home and was discovered to have had terminal cancer, passing away shortly thereafter. Here's a link that you will have to cut and paste: https://www.gofundme.com/f/for-paul-gerrior

  4. Mr. Gerrior a TRUE Catholic, not the Pharisee type catholic of today.
    Yes, the Pharisee catholic quick to judge others, quick to pull out the rosary beads and to speak in tongues and talk of the end of the world and how other Catholics should be made to fall in line with the way THEY perceive the faith.
    The Pharisee catholic, who close their eyes and minds to the churches sexual and financial scandals that have gone on for decades in America and worldwide. The Pharisee catholics who denounce and decry Pope Francis,
    because for once there is a prelate that is trying to truthfully deal with the scandals and abuses. The Pharisee catholics who want to end dialog with people of other faiths and beliefs. The Pharisee catholics who treat their parish church as their personal country club with their hell for thee heaven for me
    attitudes. Yes, just like those Pharisee catholics on our Supreme Court,
    deceitful, close minded, cold and Fascistic. Complete clowns.
    The Pharisee catholic, HYPOCRITES all !
    To them Mr. Gerrior is in hell, but I and I feel and think, that many of you
    KNOW Mr. Gerrior is in Heaven ! Because he lived his truth the most fundamental thing of any faith.
    I am one of those many "fallen away" Catholics, I love the faith but not the institution. (And I mean the Cardinals and bishops, who live "high off the hog"
    and when Francis became Pope, they had the most miserable expressions on their faces when he admonished them for their high living and judgmental attitudes.)

  5. I met Paul when I lived in San Francisco and he was a super nice guy, good-humored and friendly and not snobbish like a lot of handsome gay pretty boys. RIP, Paul.
