Antique Brown

Old California slim jim. This holster is a reproduction of one found in “Packing Iron”. It is styled with contoured (early style) pouch and bears a high cut on the cylinder. It is rather high in ride and has a double (front and rear) trigger recurve as well as a modest recurve at the front of the cylinder. It has a toe plug. This is a period-correct holster in all respects and would have been typical of holsters built from the late 1840’s to the 1870’s. It is shown here with a matching cap box.
