HOLSTER FOR THE INDIAN WARS COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY REVOLVER - Circa 1872 - 1880's Extremely large (long) holster made to handle the 7 1/2" long barrel of the single action Army (and perhaps a bit longer). No makers markings. It is a very sound piece with all seams tight and plug intact. The finish has worn off of the fold area of the flap and the strap - as would be expected. A very good example and addition for the Colt or Indian Wars collector.

HOLSTER FOR 1860 COLT ARMY OR REMINGTON REVOLVER - Good honest later model holster (1863-1865) that was made to fit both the M-1860 Colt Army and the Remington revolvers. Made by J. Davy & Co. in Newark, NJ and so marked on the flap. Is complete with plug and latch strap. Good amount of finish worn off, there is approx. 3" of separation in the seam and the top of the belt loop has about 50% cut through. Even with all this a very decent condition for this well used item.

ONE OF THE BEST CAP BOXES YOU WILL EVER FIND - Dynamite Civil War Cap Box with wool and pick and excellent condition leather. Clearly marked 'H.G. Haedrich / Philada' on inside cover and 'M. LUTZ / US / ORD DEPT / SUB INSPECTOR' on the front cover latch. It's been a long time since I've had one this nice. Would be difficult to upgrade from this one.

PAIR OF CIVIL WAR PERIOD CIVILIAN BROGANS - Smaller shoes, approximately 9" in length, typical period construction. Soles are wood pegged (looks like thread but I've pulled one peg out) and have been repaired it looks like many times. No eyelets in lace holes. Leather is stiff - could use a coat of Pecards leather treatment (I have already applied one treatment & it helped out a lot). They're not in the best of condition but I shouldn't have to say how hard they are to find - in any condition.

TRULY RARE C1837 OFFICER'S WAIST BELT PLATE - To find the documentation on this one forget Kerksis. You'll have to dig out the Smithsonian publication by Campbell & Howell "American Military Insignia 1800-1851" - Page 94 Fig. 191. As shown in the book and as described on reverse. A huge plate - approximately 3.00" x 3.80" a well struck and sharp brass cover crimped over a thicker plate of brass with the 4 arrow hooks stamped out of the heavier plate. It is known to exist in both brass and silver. Nice patina and near excellent condition.

EARLY HOLSTER FOR M-1860 COLT ARMY REVOLVER - Unmarked with field alteration. Early (1861-1862) model strictly for the M-1860 Colt Army. The later model would accomodate both the Remington and the Colt. Alteration made on the flap when the strap broke, next best thing - cutting a hole in the leather for the finial. Plug intact as is the seam (with the exception of approx. 3/4" section. Good example of the early model holster.

SPECTACULAR C.S.A. BELT PLATE ON ORIGINAL BELT - Fresh out of a Bay City, Michigan estate - thick Georgia style C.S.A. belt plate on original belt. Plate has a fantastic deep redish brown patina (this is not the Bannerman copy from the early 1900's - guaranteed), belt is well worn and has been on since day one. The belt is not a U.S. belt but a more crude copy. There is a deep worn in area under the plate hooks. The only flaw is that one of the hook holes of the belt is ripped open, otherwise you won't find much better.
