VERY RARE PAIR OF POMMEL HOLSTERS FOR EARLY DRAGOON REVOLVERS OR POSSIBLY COLT WALKER REVOLVERS.

Outstanding pair of holsters made of heavy black bridle leather with molded bodies 13-5/8″ long including the heavy rnd brass tips. Holsters are attached to a central wide leather band with inner band and keeper tab for attaching to the holster. Holsters have their orig flap covers that are of a lighter Moroccan black leather with yellow leather edge binding. The closure tab for the brass studs are sewn inside each flap. This style of pommel holsters was originated for the earlier flintlock & percussion single shot pistols and was carried forward to the large Walker and Dragoon revolvers. Altogether a beautiful and complete pair of pommel holsters. Possibly one of the better sets to be found today. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Douglas Sirkin. CONDITION: Holster bodies are solid and serviceable with lightly crackled surface, retaining most of their orig black finish; covering flaps are still soft & supple with some crackling & retain about 90% orig black finish and most of their yellow finish on the binding; center connecting bands are strong & serviceable. 4-49846 JR187 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 2195
