Desirable Wyoming Retailed Collins & Morrison Cartridge/Money Belt with Tooled George Lawrence "Mexican Loop" Holster

Manufactured c. late 1880s, this desirable cartridge/money belt is paired with a quality George Lawrence holster. Brothers Gilbert H. and John S. Collins first set up their saddle and leather goods making and wholesaling business in Omaha, Nebraska in 1864, but quickly discovered that many of their goods were more popular further west. In 1880, Gilbert died, leading John to begin downsizing the business, selling the Cheyenne shop in 1886. Not happy in his retirement, John decided to open a shop in Omaha once again, this time in partnership with John Morrison until 1890. The Collins & Morrison marking is on the billet of the belt with a Florence Hardware of Douglas, Wyoming retailer marked under the end of the billet, which was moved during the period of use to resize the belt. The belt is 3 1/2 inches wide, has a single row of .44/.45 caliber sized cartridge loops, a money pocket opening near the buckle, and measures approximately 44 inches overall including the billet. The holster is configured for a right handed shooter, will accommodate a 4 3/4 inch barrel Single Action Army Revolver, has light border tooling, and the faint George Lawrence maker's marked on the bottom of the apron under the body of the holster.

ConditionBoth are fine showing some mild wear and light age cracking, all typical of period use, with almost all of the stitching remaining tight. A fantastic gun belt rig marked for two of the West's most well-known makers!
