This very attractive Western tooled leather holster rig is intended to accommodate a Colt Single Action Army revolver with a 4 3/4 inch barrel that is chambered in .45 LC, and is configured for a right handed shooter. The holster itself is of the Mexican Loop style with two loops capturing the body and attractive border tooling. One of these loops is marked "SHELTON-PAYNE ARMS CO./El PASO, TEXAS." The cartridge belt is fitted with a German silver clipped corner buckle and it has a single row of 45 cartridge loops to accommodate .45 LC cartridges. Nine inert cartridges are included. The end of the belt near the buckle is opened for storing items or money. The belt is nearly 3 inches wide and measures approximately 45 inches long including billet. Like the holster, the belt is marked "SHELTON-PAYNE ARMS CO./El PASO, TEXAS." Shelton Payne Arms Co. was a well known Texas supplier of firearms, ammunition, sporting goods, and leather goods, and notoriously sold arms to both sides in the Mexican Revolution. As a very important historical footnote General George S. Patton ordered his very iconic Cuno Helfricht engraved and silver plated 4-3/4" Single Action Army, serial number 332088 from Shelton Payne when he was stationed at Fort Bliss which was delivered in early 1916.

Fine with age cracking on the holster and overall tight stitching. This Shelton Payne Arms Co. holster rig would make a great addition to any Colt SAA or frontier collection.
