Description:

This belt holster rig was made by the Bohlin shop of Hollywood, California. Opening in Hollywood in the 1920s, the Bohlin shop typified quality craftsmanship found during the heyday of "B" western films, outfitted many well known movie stars and celebrities such as Will Rogers, Hopalong Cassidy, and Gene Autry, and continues to operate today in one form or another. This has open top holster features, an elaborate floral carved motif on the front and is secured with a single tooled strap fitted with engraved German silver hardware. The skirt has an ornate tooled border and "BOHLIN MADE / CALF. / HOLLYWOOD" is stamped twice on the back which has two holes near the bottom, likely for a tie down strap. The belt features an elaborate floral carved motif which extends to the tongue, has 24 cartridge loops, and an engraved German silver buckle. The back of the belt and buckle are marked with the Bohlin address as found on the skirt.

Rating Definition:

Very fine overall. The leather has minor age crazing and some scattered wear and handling marks. The silver has aged to an attractive dark gray. The stitching is tight.
