This very attractive Western tooled leather holster rig is intended to accommodate a Colt Single Action Army revolver with a 4 3/4 inch barrel that is chambered in .32 or .38, and is configured for a right handed shooter. The holster itself is of the Mexican Loop style with two oval shaped loops capturing the body and attractive border tooling. It is constructed of medium russet skirting leather and the interior of the body is lined with buckskin which wraps onto the back and edges of the skirt. The cartridge belt is marked "32/38" on the buckle billet which is fitted with a German silver clipped corner buckle and it has a single row of cartridge loops to accommodate .32/.38 caliber cartridges. The end of the belt near the buckle is opened for storing items or money. The belt is 3 inches wide and measures approximately 40 inches long including the billet. The back of the billet is hand marked "Dec 25th/1954/From/CAP," possibly indicating a later family gifting.

Very fine overall, with some mild wear and light age related cracking in a few areas. Most of the stitching remains tight and there are a series of stitch holes near the buckle end of the belt where the money pocket may have been sewn shut. Holster rigs such as this one remained popular in the American West for carrying a trusted sidearm even after the "Wild West" period for the Colt Single Action. This is a very fine example of exactly that!
