Desirable Early J.F. Foote, Wyoming Territory Cartridge/Money Belt with Tooled Holster for a Colt Single Action Army Revolver

Manufactured in the late 1800s, this is a rare and desirable example of a Wyoming Territory made cartridge/money belt from the shop of J.F. Foote, which he had bought from R.B. Knox in Rawlins, Wyoming, in the 1880s. This example is similar in style to other known cartridge/money belts by Foote and has his very faint maker's mark on the "teardrop" portion of the billet. The belt has a single row of loops for .44 or .45 caliber cartridges and a money pocket opening near the rectangular buckle which was once nickeled. The belt is 3 inches wide and measures approximately 43 1/2 inches long including the billet. Included with the belt is an early type "Mexican Loop" holster with light border tooling that has no maker's mark, though it is very much in the style of known Foote examples. It has a single wide retention loop, open toe, recurved throat, and will accommodate a 7 1/2 inch barreled Colt Single Action Army Revolver.

ConditionGood, the belt showing some significant wear and moderate age related cracking, typical of frontier used Wyoming Territory leather goods, with most of the stitching remaining tight. The holster shows moderate wear and age cracking with most of the stitching tight. A very rare example of a Wyoming Territory cartridge belt by J.F. Foote!
