Description:

Likely manufactured towards the end of the 19th century, this is a very attractive holster rig for a 4 3/4 inch barreled Colt Single Action Army revolver. The belt is marked for the Boise Saddlery Co. and is the only known piece of gunleather bearing such a marking, making it incredibly scarce, even among the already small crown of Idaho marked gunleather. The holster has light border tooling on the body, two retention loops, a recurved throat, and an open toe. The belt is marked "BOISE SADDLERY/CO/BOISE CITY.I." on the billet retainer loop. The belt itself is 3 5/8 inches wide and approximately 43 1/4 inches long including the billet, with a single row of cartridge loops for .44 or .45 caliber cartridges and a money pocket opening near the buckle. A strip of welting was added along the lower edge/seam of the belt during the period of use.

Rating Definition:

Very good, the holster shows some moderate wear typical of period use and some light age cracking. The belt is also fine with moderate wear and some scattered spot of moderate age cracking, including on the billet which is fragile. A rare Boise Idaho made gunbelt with a period holster that would make a great addition to a Single Action Army or gunleather collection!
