			FANCY .32-.20 CARTRIDGE BELT Probably made in Mexico this double loop belt is 32" long, suede lined, and tastefully tooled along the edges. It is supple and complete with no broken or replaced loops or loose stitching. The nickled clipped corner buckle is approx. 2 1/2" x 3". While not terribly old it has a pleasing appearance and would enhance any holster similar in quality & color. PRICE $ 285.00 Click here to ask us about this item.

			EARLY .41 CAL. CARTRIGE-MONEY BELT If you look at early photo's of western cowboys in particular in Texas, you will see them wearing very narrow belts. These were very popular in the late 70's and early 80's and seldom found to-day. It is not maker marked however it is hand made with a square, clipped corner, nickelled buckle. It has had a number of the belt loops replaced as well as the billet. This has seen a lot of use but still remains in good condition, almost 40" in length and 2" wide. Circa 1890's.

			EARLY, HIGHEST QUALITY, "SLIM JIM" HOLSTER Beautiful suede lined holster made to take 7 1/2" Single Action or Conversion or Cap & Ball, either Colt or Remington. Tastefully border tooled with two rosettes and the backstrap is secured with copper rivets of the type used in Civil War holsters. It is supple, stitching is sound and the toe plug is in place. Circa 1860's to 1870's. Magnificent. PRICE $ 1,500.00 Click here to ask us about this item.

			LARGE CALIBRE MONEY BELT & MATCHING HOLSTER An excellent example circa 1880's/1890's, this belt appears to be pigskin and measures 2 3/4" inches wide x approximately 38 inches in length. The billet with the holes appears to be a replacement, however it is an excellent match and professionally done. The borders are tooled. The "Slim Jim" holster is for a 7 1/2" double action and is also in excellent condition. There is a catalog number on the belt strap on the holster. Getting very difficult to find. PRICE $ 1,750.00 Click here to ask us about this item.

			EXCELLENT "SLIM JIM" HOLSTER The belt strap on the back is secured with a brass civil war type rivet top and bottom and will take a 2 1/2" wide belt, and it is stamped "45" which I presume is a catalog number. This holster I believe is early 1880's and will take a 7 1/2" Colt or Remington 1890 single action. Stitching is sound except for a few at the top of the "S" curve. Border tooled with a small rosette, this is a great example, showing little use. PRICE $ 995.00 Click here to ask us about this item.

			UNIQUE DOUBLE LOOP HOLSTER This boldly maker marked holster is for a 5 1/2" Colt or 5 3/4" Remington S.A. revolver. The maker is "T, Sullivan & Co., Bluffdale, Utah and the consturtion is obviously hand made and somewhat unique in that the loops are not part of the apron, but separate straps which are stitched to-gether at the back. The apron and the straps are a deep maroon color while the body appears to be black. The listing I found for Sullivan does not give a date however I would place this great example in the 1880's to 90's. Bluffdale is near a large State Penitentiary. Very desireable holster that displays well. PRICE $ 2,500.00 Click here to ask us about this item.

			EARLY "H.H. HEISER" HOLSTER Few people realize that Herman H. Heiser was an accomplished saddler in the 1860's and moved to Denver in 1874 to open a shop there. This beautifully tooled holster was made after that date and before he registered his famous HHH trademark which was the ninth TM to be registed in CO. It is marked 45 on the skirt under the toe of the pouch. The maker's name is stamped H.H.Heiser and Denver, Col. The condition is excellent+ and it takes a 4 3/4" Colt S.A.A. perfectly. A unique addition suitable for the finest collection.. H O L D Click here to ask us about this item.

			MILITARY STYLE HOLSTER An old friend who loved the work of the saddlers', was an avid collector & dealer, referred to the symbol embossed in this holster as a "Joshua Tree". This is a fine example of the type of holsters sold by dealers such as "Hartley & Graham". This particular holster takes an 1875 or 1890 Remington or a Colt SAA as well as several others with a 7 1/2" barrel. The belt strap which is fastened with a rivet, the type of which dates it from the early 1890's, is marked "105" over a "C" over "44", 105 being the catalog number. In wonderful original condition, the only visible repair is the partial restitching of the upper portion of the seam. Great colour with a brass finial stud for the flap retainer. PRICE $ 675.00 Click here to ask us about this item.

			ABERCROMBIE & FITCH Great original A. & F Rig with both the belt and holster (on skirt under toe of pouch) bearing the famous New York retailer's name & logo. The .44-40 cartridge bellt is of their highest quality, heavy leather with beautifully aged brass buckle. It appears there may have been a second partial row of loops possibly for rifle shells which is no longer present but could be easily added if desired. The holster is a typical double loop with border tooling and sound stitching and takes a 6" S&W or Colt D.A. Revolver. Showing much use but in exceptionally good condition I would estimate this to be from the turn of the century. Great looking outfit. S O L D Click here to ask us about this item.

			F.A. MEANEA HOLSTER This maker's work is probably the most saught after by collectors and this example is probably the finest to exist. Frank Meanea worked in Cheyenne, Wyo. for Gallatin and started using his own name from about 1881 until he died in 1928. Made to take a 5 1/2" Colt S.A.A. and cartouched 4 or 5 times with suede lining only used on the top of the line holsters, I believe this was originally a salesman's sample and only saw minimal use. There is no doubt this is one of the best to survive and would be the centrepiece of any collection. S O L D Click here to ask us about this item.

			G.H. & J.S. COLLINS OMAHA, NEB. This is one of the hardest marks to find because John's brother Gilbert passed away in 1880 and the business was only started in 1867. John then continued the business with shops in a variety of locations and also went into partnership with Morrison in Omaha. There is a book giving the fascinating history of this man who became one of the best known and biggest saddlers and outfitters in the old west. The left-hand or cross-draw holster takes a .45 Colt S.A.A. as well as other large frame .45's and while heavily crazed from weather is still in excellent condition. This is a very early example while the "Collins & Morrison" marked money belt which is pigskin was probably made in the early 1880's. A wonderful rig for the serious collector with both holster and belt bearing the typical very large dye stamped caliber (in this case 45). PRICE $12,500.00 Click here to ask us about this item.

			HOLSTER FOR MERWIN & HULBERT A beautiful holster which will take a 6" M & H in great original condition. It has the so called "Winchester Cowboy" on the body with two running deer on the face of the single loop & what appears to be an "A" over an inverted "A". Could this be Abercrombie & Abercrombie or? We know they were advertised by Keystone Bros. as well as other well known dealers. It has the plug intact and has catalog numbers on the back. While the work appears as tooled, it was actually rolled on with a large press and die. We have had a large number of these gorgeous pieces over the years for various models from S.A.'s to lightnings and they usually sell quickly. PRICE $ 750.00 Click here to ask us about this item.

			MOVIE COMPANY PROP. This holster is marked "WCC" on the skirt behind the pouch. It denotes the "Western Costume Co." who were suppliers to the majority of the large movie companies and who marked all of their property in this manner. Undoubtedly it was used in many westerns on the big screen. It is professionally made and in excellent condition taking a 5 1/2" or 5 3/4" S. A. perfectly. It has a great look and one could probably find a movie poster with this holster in it. Appears to be of a style used in the 20's and 30's with the rawhide binding on the edge. PRICE 495.00 Click here to ask us about this item.

			BRAUER BROS. CATALOG HOLSTER I located this one in a "Brauer Bros." catalog and it is marked "1465" and "6", the first being the catalog # and the second for barrel length. The name does not appear on it. It is very well made and in excellent condition. It has a great age color and shows little use.It will take a single or a double action and is made of heavy skirting leather. H O L D Click here to ask us about this item.

			SPECTACULAR TERRITORIAL HOLSTER FROM JUST NORTH OF THE U.S. BORDER IN CANADA This one has it all, unique, as new condition, takes Colt S.A.A or D.A. with 5 1/2" barrel and dates to the turn of the century. Completely un-altered with a perfect cartouche "Great Western Saddlery Co. Makers, Calgary, N.W.T." this outstanding example will compliment any collection.

			EXTRA FINE HOLSTER FOR 71/2" 1878 COLT D.A. REVOLVER Purchased from an exceptional collection of leather in Texas many years ago this example is hard to beat. Many think the basket weave pattern is indicative of later work however the dies for this pattern were available in the 1880's when I think this holster was made. If you click on the image it will bring up other views one of which shows one of the two rivets used to secure the belt loop. It is copper of the type used in the civil war holsters and use of which was discontinued by the early 1880's. Also the almost straight across cut at the top without the deep "S" curve was only used by the earlier makers. While there is no makers mark on this outstanding holster it deserves a place in a fine collection. S O L D Click here to ask us about this item.

			PATTON & CO. TOMBSTONE, A.T. It is highly doubtfull you will ever come across this maker or any other from this historic location. I have never seen another however there is an example in the book "Packing Iron". This example is for a Colt Lightning with a 4 1/2" barrel and has had extensive use. The maker's mark while faint is legible and is unquestionably original and guaranteed as such. I think the single leather loop with nickel studs was a later add-on however is also very old and of the period of use. You won't find any rarer than this. PRICE $ 6,500.00 Click here to ask us about this item.

			TAKES A 4" "SHERIFF'S MODEL" COLT S.A.A. This original rig has everything a collector wants and is just as it came out of the attic. It is beautifully cartouched with this fine Maker's mark "R.E.Gibbons, Gainsville, Tex.". While it shows considerable use it is still very flexible although somewhat dry. If you are lucky enough to own a Sheriff's model which in itself is extremely rare, where would you find a period rig made specifically for it? Impossible to replace.

			"EUBANKS Leather, BOISE, IDAHO" This is a patented product by the maker with several desireable features. It is very well made and designed to take a single row of .30 WCF or .30-30 rifle cartridges or the top row will accept revolver cartridges up to .45 cal. The loops are made with one continuous piece of leather that weaves from front to back to front through slots in the belt which allows enough flexibility to accept and hold various sized cartridges. Also notice the extra sturdy buckle. This belt is near new condition and made from very heavy leather. Unique and scarce. PRICE $150.00 Click here to ask us about this item.

			EARLY SHOTGUN CARTRIDGE BELT An early Wyoming Style belt with bulb shape to billets a design used by some Wyoming leather crafters in the earlydays. Very pleasing appearance with pattern of small brass studs for decoration. There is a suede lining on the back and a floral pattern on the edges top and bottom. Both billets have been moved sometime during use to shorten belt. A scarce belt to-day. PRICE $ 275.00 Click here to ask us about this item.

			THE ORIGINAL SIGN SAYS IT ALL Albert F. Furstnow first worked for "Goettlich" and in about 1884-85 started on his own. He operated in partnership with "C.E. Coggshall" from about 1888-90 to 95. While this example is quite plain he was also noted for his fancy leatherwork an example of which will be added to this site later. The cartridge belt while not marked is a perfect match in color and takes .45 cal. ammunition. The condition of this outfit shows little use and is very heavy leather with superb workmanship. An oustanding example. PRICE $4,950.00 for the Holster and $1,250.00 for the original sign also in outstanding condition. Click here to ask us about this item.

			"EL PASO SADDLERY" This Company was formed in 1889 from Andrews and Hill leather Co.to the present. Many do not realize how old some of these companies are. This example is a double loop, right-hand holster made for a 7 1/2" Colt Single action. I cannot state the age but would guess that it is fairly early as the rivet at the top is copper of the style used in the civil war. It has become heavily corroded with green verdigris and I would suggest it be cleaned off. It is in exceptional condition and while almost appearing black is a very dark reddish brown. This is a a very desireable and popular Texas maker. S O L D Click here to ask us about this item.

			"H. H. HEISER" Heiser was born in Germany in 1836 and started his apprenticeship in the U.S. in the mid 1850's. He moved to Denver about 1874 and worked there until his death in 1904. This example is deep brown in color (almost black) and bears the imprint of a Colt S.A.A. that must have been carried in it for a long time. The back has the famous HHH cartouche and the belt loop which is marked 5 1/2 is secured with copper rivets turned deep green. A very simple design with three stamped floral design and simple edge tooling. Overall condition is excellent. PRICE $375.00 Click here to ask us about this item.

			COLT DRAGOON HOLSTER (Probably made for a 3 RD. Model Colt Dragoon but would also take other large frame Models.) Very large holster with tasteful border pattern and early very large basketweave pattern overall. This holster was made by a saddlery that used a circular leaf or flower pattern as a trade mark which appears on the rear toe of the skirt. I do not know the maker and no name appears. There is a small professionally applied reinforcement to the rear of one of the loops. No tear is visible. These large holsters are almost non-existant any more and few were made originally as cartridge arms were in major use by the mid 1880's although because of the cost of factory made ammunition the use of cap and ball arms was known up to the turn of the century. Leather is excellent as is the stitching. PRICE $ 975.00 Click here to ask us about this item.

			VERY EARLY "SLIM JIM" HOLSTER Fragile but a supple and sound Colt Single Action holster which takes a 7 1/2" and fits like a glove. Some loose stitching but not torn and easily repaired. When you click on the image for an enlarged view you will see a photo of the rear as well as the front. Note the copper rivet of the type used in Civil War holsters and the large heavy belt loop. This example has seen extensive use but still remains in very good condition. S O L D Click here to ask us about this item.

			COMPLETE MATCHING RIG WITH MAKER HISTORY Ashley A. Haines was the maker of this unique rig. The holster is a triple loop (considered by collectors as rare) and takes a 7 1/2" S.A. The money belt takes .45 cal. cartridges and is constructed with only a single seam in the center on the back. The leather on the belt is lighter than usual but in fine condition on both pieces. Ashley Haines was editor of Outdoor Life for many years and he also wrote many articles for other magazines such as the American Rifleman. He & his family lived in Great Falls Montana before travelling to Calgary and settling in Canada. An extensive family history as well as photo's and numerous articles by him in one of which this rig appears comes with the outfit. Certainly more research should prove very interesting. This rig was probably produced in the late 1890's or early 1900's and shows some wear but has survived in fine condition. S O L D Click here to ask us about this item.

			FLAP HOLSTER FOR S. & W. NO.3 AMERICAN Very seldom do we find an early civilian holster for an "American" This example is rather unique in that it has two rivets that are used to secure the flap. The second allows the flap to close tighter accomodating a smaller weapon. Both are original to the holster. The only repair is a replaced belt loop to the back, obviously the original was too weak to accomodate the weight. This is a fine example which dates to the 1890's.

			CIVIL WAR ISSUE HOLSTER FOR 1860 COLT ARMY OR 1858 REMINGTON This type of holster was primarily used by the North and while abundant just a few years ago, they are now almost never seen for sale. This example is dark brown and complete except for a replaced muzzle plug. The stitching is intact and the belt loop shows heavy use and has a small portion worn through at the fold. This is a very good example, very soft, with heavy crazing overall but very little loss of surface. S O L D Click here to ask us about this item.

			FANCY MULE EAR COWBOY BOOTS These are post cicil war, circa 1870-80, high top, fancy, mule ears with the decoration being an effect created with the use of stitching both on the high body and on the original "Mule Ear" pulls which are in excellent condition. These boots came out of Texas and while the shoe portion is dry and brittle resulting in some cracks on the tops of the shoe portion, the remainder is soft and supple. Some treatments of "Pecard" or "Black Rock" over time will bring back the leather which undoubtably was soaked during use and left to dry probably by a hot stove. We will supply a container of Pecard with instructions. Seldom if ever seen for sale and a unique additon to any dispaly. S O L D Click here to ask us about this item.

			PROFESSIONALLY MADE LARIAT Braided rawhide lariat measuring over 60' in length. This is not one of the cheap types we often see for re-inactments etc. but an exceptionally well made example that has seen little if any use. Great look. S O L D Click here to ask us about this item.

			ADVERTISING "COWBOY KNIFE SHARPENER" Collins was an authority on cowboy history & lore having been a consultant to Disney & Zane Gray as well as artists, etc. He was born in 1879 and worked for many various and well known saddlers, finally setting up his own shop in Globe, AZ as well as other locations. He lived into the 1960's. This unique item is marked "Chas. E. Collins Saddlery, cowboy outfitter of the Southwest, Saddles, Chaparejos and Leather goods made to order, hand made spurs and bits, guaranteed pocket knives, First class repairs a specialty, Prescott Arizona". A great momento from a genuine western character. S O L D Click here to ask us about this item.

			CALIFORNIA STYLE "SLIM JIM" HOLSTER MADE FOR A COLT 1861 NAVY MODEL CAP AND BALL REVOLVER Very well cared for example with fabulous tooling perfect stitching and muzzle plug and as supple as the day it was made. It would be hard to improve on this piece and while there is no maker the acanthus scrolls on the border are indicative of work done in "Texas" or by someone from that area. H O L D Click here to ask us about this item.

			VERY EARLY "SLIM JIM" HOLSTER The exceptional condition of this holster is obvious in the pictures (Double click image for enlarged views) and while having surface cracks there is only the very slightest flaking to the surface. It is soft and supple with all the stitching firmly in place including around the muzzle plug. It has a double line border accent and the civil war type copper rivets attaching the belt loop. This holster will take a 6" 1849 Pocket or 62 Police Model Colt cap and ball revolver. Very dark brown to almost black in color. S O L D Click here to ask us about this item.

			"HARNESS MAKERS" 50 CAL. CARTRIDGE BELT This belt looks typical of the type worn by buffalo hunters and may take an even larger cal. cartridge but I don't want to force it. Early belts were narrow such as this one which has the narrow double line border on top and bottom. It has the standard of the time harness makers roller type buckle and the keeper which the billet slips through has an X in the surface also typical of the period which I estimate to be circa 1860's. Copper rivets typical of the Civil War period have been used and this belt is very pliable and stitching is tight. The overall condition is very good +. Very scarce as these belts saw extreme use.
