UNIQUE CONFEDERATE NASHVILLE MAKER MARKED HOLSTER.

UNIQUE CONFEDERATE NASHVILLE MAKER MARKED HOLSTER. You are bidding on an extremely rare Confederate military holster maker marked “John Morrow & Son/ NASHVILLE, TENN”. John Morrow of Nashville, Tennessee made Confederate Leather accouterments, based on existing receipts from early 1862. The only other marked example we know of is an infantry cartridge box. There are probably no more than 10 Confederate maker marked holsters and any surviving Nashville holster is extremely rare since Nashville fell to Union forces so early in the war. This example is subtle with about half its orig black finish retained. The holster lacks the strap for closure and is missing about a 1″ pc at muzzle; an additional 2 sets of cuts have been made behind orig belt loop for better belt attachment as can be seen in photos. This is the only example known to us and we doubt there is another. This holster will fit most any Confederate primary revolver such as a Griswold, a Leech and Rigdon, Rigdon & Ansley or a Spiller & Burr. CONDITION: Leather is sound and intact. Black coating is crazed and flaking overall. About 50% of the orig black polish is present. Muzzle end is missing a 1″ square pc of leather as can be seen of photographs. As can be seen in photos, several letters and maker’s mark are not discernible. 4-32823 JS502 (4,000-6,000)

Auction: Firearms - Fall 2007

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
