The holster in this grouping bears the faint maker's mark "PATTON & CO/TOMBSTONE" and the gun belt appears made to match. According to the letter from the Arizona Historical Society, John J. Patton arrived in Arizona in 1877, moving to Tombstone and operating his saddlery business there in 1880, just one year before the famous shootout at the O.K. Corral. The holster has light border tooling on the outside body along with the previously mentioned maker's mark. The gun belt has no maker's marks but is marked "44" near the nickeled buckle, indicating the size of ammunition intended for the single row of cartridge loops. It measures approximately 46 inches overall. The holster appears to be fitted for a Colt Single Action Army Revolver with a 7 1/2 inch barrel. Also included in the grouping is an 1880 dated check for $200 from the Pima County Bank of Tombstone, Arizona made out to Joseph Hoefler, who operated a general store in the town, as well as a copy of a photo that appears to be participants in the shootout at the O.K. Corral.

Fine overall, both the holster and gun belt showing moderate wear and some light age related cracking but remaining solid overall with generally tight stitching. The check is very fine with minimal fading or wear. An interesting set that is deeply associated with one of the most famous Wild West towns, Tombstone!
