Antique Brown Old California Slim Jim. Taper Belt HOLSTER : "Old California" with repeating 9’s border BELT: "No Noose Neal" border A reproduction of an early- period Main & Winchester holster, it is styled with a contoured (early style) pouch, high cut at the cylinder and the traditional triple recurve throat. The holster rides rather high. The trigger area turns in on the trigger as a sort of retention mechanism. 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

This style is a civilian type shotgun belt. The holster is a late era slim jim. It has a very high profile over the cylinder and trigger, swallowing the pistol almost completely. The pouch style is a gentle taper rather than the earlier form-fitting California types. There is a period-correct toe plug.

Collins Bros. RigDark Mahogany Collins Brothers Cheyenne-style Holster Gunfighter Belt Holster: El Paso Border Belt: El Paso Border The Collins Brothers Saddlery were contemporaries of Frank Meanea. As such, their holsters bore strong resemblances to one another. There were subtle variations however mostly in the toe, skirt and throat which we have captured in this holster.

French & Olzer RigLight Mahogany French Saddlery Mexican Loop Holster Olzer Money Belt. Holster: French with bugle border Belt: Double Bugle The holster is a faithful reproduction of a French Saddlery holster. It is a single Mexican loop style holster built circa 1900 – 1910. The toe is plugged. As was typical of many cowboy rigs, the belt is made by a different maker than the holster, in this case, a traaditional money belt made in the manner of the Frank Olzer Saddlery circa 1905-1915. Discerning features are the tapered billets with characteristic stitch pattern.
Joel's Gun Rig
Light Mahogany Mexican Loop Gunfighter Belt HOLSTER : Northern Plains Floral BELT: Chain & 4-Point Star Holsters such as this one were worn throughout the west. This style would have been popular from the late 1870's or '80's on through into the 1940's. While the engraved buckle, loop and tip place it into the 30's or 40's, with other buckles, it would serve for virtually any era.
Borderstamped CheyenneLight Mahogany "Cheyenne" None Holster: Sunset & Greek Meander The swell in the centermost portion of the pouch on this holster indicates that it is of a Cheyenne pattern. The cut is very similar to the Meanea and Collins Brothers styles with the exception that it is cut lower at the cylinder and at the trigger areas. This style of holster would have been in use from the late 1870's through to the late 1930's.
Frank's holsterDark Mahogany Old California Slim Jim None Ocean Wave with Halfberry Border Nearly identical in form and shape to the '49er, this holster has been dropped so that the bottom of the grips sit at the top of the belt line. It has also had the trigger area modified into a straighter profile at the main seam which allows for an easier draw.It is tooled with one of our signature "extra fancy" borders.
Sacremento Rose Holster
Light Mahogany Sacremento Slim Jim Holster Sacremento Rose with Repeating 9's Border The Sacremento Holster is essentially an 1851 in the cut of the pouch. The difference lies in the area back of the trigger guard where there is a small but elegant little recurve. The tooling pattern is based on a Main & Winchester rose. the original was on a holster for much more diminutive pistol but we couldn't resist reworking the pattern for this 1860 Army. It can be had for other revolvers as well.
