DOUBLE LOOP BROWN LEATHER HOLSTER FOR A SINGLE
ACTION REVOLVER WITH A 5 ˝” BARREL LENGTH – VERY NICE
SPECIMEN: This is a very well preserved
specimen of a “Mexican” Double Loop Holster for a large
frame revolver such as the Colt Single Action. A
holster of the type intended for sale to a working
cowboy, it is nonetheless well made and the pouch is
embellished with a simple stamped pattern around its
profile.
The leather surface retains a bright, clear, shiny
surface - smooth with no crazing or flaking and the
entire stamped pattern is legible. The leather is
supple and holds its shape with no weaknesses. The
bottom of the front surface of the skirt, hidden under
the pouch, is legibly stamped “812”, likely the maker’s
model number.
Showing signs of having
carried a revolver, the holster has not been abused or
worn out. There is some light flexing along the fold
and just above the toe where the leather was stretched
by the barrel of the revolver. The seam is fully intact
down through the rounded toe with no loss of the
stitching. The holster measures 10” OAL and 5 ˝” OAW.
The belt loop formed by the skirt will easily accept a 3
˝” to 4” wide cartridge belt.
This is a simple working class holster, yet it is still
features a very pleasing profile and it has survived in
very nice condition. (0911) $625
